What do you think? It's hard to photograph these little things!

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.

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.

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.
