Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 12:13 pm These are pretty little coins :) I'll call this a VG. Obv image seems to show a rim dent around 10:00. A couple little scratches under the bust left of the 1 of 18. Not sure from the lighting if the colorations indicates a cleaning, and the focus doesn't show for hairlines. The reverse seems pretty normal for a VG. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 9:37 pm The image is out of focus, try imaging through a loupe if needed. It also looks like too much light is on the coin making it appear washed out and possibly cleaned. That said I will assume the coin is problem-free because it likely is. The reverse is VF30 and a strong stike and tons of sharp detail remaining. The obverse must have been softly struck and/or off worn dies becuase it has far less detail remaining. It looks VF20 at best. Because the obverse weighs more in grading I will leave it as a solid VF20. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/24/2016 10:49 pm Those are better images. I'll stick with VF20 and a light cleaning. If it graded problem-free, and silent net-graded, an F15 grade is likely. A nice little busty. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
