What do you guys think as far as grading? *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***  Edited by Real Sosa

Yeah, the photos are a little fuzzy. You might want to try again.
Also, the mods might move your post to US Classic Coin Grading.

..to CCF Real Sosa. Your pics are still a bit blurry, but the coin looks Fine or maybe Very Fine. |

Maybe F-12, hard to tell for sure from the photos.

The lighting angle doesn't show up the word LIBERTY very well which limits a guy from making an accurate grading determination. From what I'm seeing in the photo, the coin is at least a F-12, but if I had the coin in hand or saw better photos, it might go VF-20. Coin photography is not easy. When I first started posting here, my photos looked WAY worse than yours. But, with time and practice and experimentation--I eventually got better (maybe not great, but at least adequate for posting).  |

All letters of LIBERTY are at least partially visible so F-12 at least. Color looks OK except for that area at OF AM on the obverse; looks like somebody rubbed with an eraser there. You didn't ask for a value but the 1897 is a pretty common date. Problem-free Indian cents in similar grade are routinely available for maybe $3 at my local coin shop. If you are a fan of these coins you can assemble a pleasing partial set of late dates with a very modest budget. Edited by Jaobler

Perhaps VF-20. Scratch in left obverse field?

Technically F-12 but the cheek has a pretty bad hit so I'd say VG-10 or so net.

The pictures are a very pixellated and hard to make out details, but I'll stick my neck out here... When I take a closer look, I see strong separation between the hair and ribbon, and maybe even some diamonds preserved--not seen in F. So just for fun, I'm going to guess the coin is closer to EF details.  But good pics are better than guesses.  Edited by Thulium
