My first venture into grading via pictures so take it with a grain of salt (or a few).. VF30?

I'll go out on a limb first. I'm going go say EF-40. According to my info:
Cheek lightly worn, flat spots on cotton leaves
Legs, Wingtips, feathers on head show wear

I put this at VF20 at best, and it may end up down in the F15 range due to the eagles wings in my book. I think you need full wing feathers to even consider EF. Quite a bit of detail missing from the hairlines on the obverse to. But hey, that's a fruit coin, no doubt about it!!  |

I'll go with VF30, cleaned.

F15 at pcgs (if she's not been cleaned.....I can't tell from the pics), maybe a vf20 in an anacs holder as the upper hair is very worn and the eagles feather are far too incomplete to go higher.

F-15 details cleaned. As a key date it might get market graded a grade higher.

I see this as a good match for the VF-25 images and descriptions in the PCGS grading/counterfeit detection guide. As the key to the set I'd be surprised if it graded below VF-20. If it was cleaned, it doesn't seem that it was done too harshly. I've seen many Morgans with more obvious cleaning signs that made it into PCGS plastic. Nice key, nice value! Wish I had one!  |

Well I might as well say. Halfabustisbetter and tights24 win. They gave it a F-15 (without details).
Still a nice key, I could never afford to buy a coin like this!

Very nice Robo. Worth over 4k !
Ahh... I was off on my guess. I must have been looking at the SGS grading guide.
So are you planning to keep it or sell it ? Looks like you have a few more key or better date coins in that inheritance. You should have those looked at too.

I have personally inspected and, with the help of RedBook, graded every coin in the collection. It was tedious. It's now my duty to divide the collection into fourths by estimated value. Any suggestions? My brothers and I decided to create 4 equal value sets and then pick numbers out of a hat to see who gets what. I thought it would be fun. Then after we pick we can trade if we want. |

Unless your whole collection is worth over 16k (greysheet bid), it will be tough to divide it in fourths because you have 1 big value coin that you don't want to sell.

Have you checked the loose coins for varieties already? Don't forget those!

Oh, I knew it was in a PCGS slab, but I believe it's been cleaned at some point in its past, so the 'details' was more my own grade based on eye assessment. PCGS is loath to bodybag key date coins. A wonderful coin and collection!
