Reverse pic for now, grade. No cheating, it is from RCNA Bell auction.

Going by the reverse only which I find harder to grade, I would say VG10.

VG8 Too much wear on the leaves and crown for anything higher. There must be a punchline coming. Is it higher grade? Is it OBV5?

Punchline: Show me another VG8 with a round 3 struck as strong?

Very few "collectors" of coins in this price range care that the 3 is exceptionally well struck. Their money is riding on the number at the upper left corner of the slab.

Can't grade from just reverse.

VG-8 or VG-10, assuming the wear on the reverse is consistent with the obverse. Not the ideal way of grading. Quote: Very few "collectors" of coins in this price range care that the 3 is exceptionally well struck. Probably true, but it's a nice bonus.

I think it would get a VG-10 because of the crown. The bottom of the coin seem closer to G6 but that could be the strike.

These coins tend to be convex on the reverse and concave on the obverse. If the reverse looks that good, the obverse should be F-12 or better...
