A nice Sunday morning find. Looks F+/VF to me. Seller photos, my background. What's your grade?   Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

Usually your grading, even on your own coins, is pretty strict, but I can't see this pushing much beyond an F-15. Still a solid example of a must have one year type.

I can see this as a VF-20.

I'd say this quarter is probably a F-15 since there's just too much wear for it to be VF, but it is a really nice original coin! Good find!  |

I am going to say a solid VF20.

My grading guide says 'LIBERTY' on shield needs to be strong for VF20 so I'll have to go F15. Nice eye appeal due to the clean fields. A-grade F15 for sure.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I am an "old school grader." The coin looks like a Fine-12 to me.

Even F-15 is a stretch - reverse just not VF detail to me.

No neck feather detail, little on right wing, pancake head on both sides, weak "LI" in Liberty - really, would you pay VF money for this?  |
