Not used to grading these in lower grades but I would say f-12 and you're right about ICG. Hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I encounter a coin in one of their holders. I look at tpgs like an insurance policy. It's always nice to know it's their in case I screw up and miss something.

Hmmm tough one because these were notorious for their weak strike. Look at the forehead and hairline though and the chest drapery. The detail is there. I'll go with VF-25 but can see it going to 30.

VF-25. What are those marks on Miss Liberty's cap?

Agree f15
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 also agree with 15, and even that is a tiny tad generous.

I've seen similar coins in NGC and PCGS holders at VF 20. buy the coin not the holder, don't discount ICG....yes they've made bonehead moves, just like the other big guys.  |
