Picked this up for a little less than $18 with less than stellar pics. Seller says it looks better in hand - we shall see. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

F-15. What's with the gunk in the right-hand stars? Common date - I hope it looks better in hand.

F-15. Looks similar to the other one, viz., the market acceptable cleaning and coloration.
Rest in Peace

F-15 for me too . I don't see any indication of a cleaning , may be just water and a drop of soap if that .
Gunk on obverse is troublesome . I would try an acetone soak when you receive it .

This doesn't look anything like the 1901-S half to me. All of the letters in LIBERTY are sharp and complete. Also the 01-S had an eagle with only about half the feathers in the reverse. This one looks like it has 90% of the eagle's feathers visible. Looks mid VF to me. May be cleaned. We'll see. Thanks for the comments.
Rest in Peace

Maybe 20, but I wouldn't gamble on such blurry photos myself.

Definitely can work in your favor with lots of experience looking at pics and a little luck!

Looks VF20 and old dip that didn't remove all the good gunk on the obverse and is re-toning, but the reverse has yet to start re-toning.
