Help settle a friendly grading disagreement.

Seller has given his opinion. And I have mine. But there's a big price difference between the grades.

Would appreciate any comments & opinions. Thanks.

I could see a debate between VG-10 and F-12. Tough call.

With the amount of detail remaining in the eagle's feathers and the hair around the ear, I'm thinking VF-20

The left side of the reverse is shot, for whatever reason, and the clasp is not strong. I can't see it at VF.

F, maybe a low VF regarding wear, but grime and lightly rough surfaces especially on the obverse are decreasing its value IMO.

not the best eye appeal but I would guess it could barely make a VF20.

F-15, possibly VF-20.

VF-20. Very weak strike typical of pre-1820 halves.

I'd call it an F15 but could see a VF20 grade if being a tad generous.

Thanks all for posting!

I thought F15. Seller said VF20, asking $100.

Greysheet Fine is $68; VF is $155 (I assume that's VF35).

We agreed on $90.
