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?


My eyeball grade was F+ (F15) so I bid accordingly and ended up winning the coin for F12 money! ($37, if anyone cares.) VF20 FMV is $89 -- a BIG jump in price for a small condition gain, but useful if I were to budget slab it and it got market graded into a 20 slab because I could always turn it out for a bit of gain later.

I don't think it warrants a full grade VF, by my personal standards, and it looks like a lot of folks agree with my original assessment of F15. That being said, there is always room in the cabinet for choice-in-grade pieces with originality and eye appeal that have a possible resale upside going forward.

My first thought was F15. It looks to have nice color and surfaces for a Fine+.
