I'm going with TNG . My call is F-15 but others might call it VF-20 because of the full horn .  |

You have a decently solid Philadelphia strike, with normal wear pattern, a bit rugged on the Indian's chin and cheek. It has the typical die clash marks below the Indian's cheek and in EPU. It's a decent example of a 1929.
On the obverse, there is clear wear on the eyebrow, cheekbone, and braid. The hair is starting to merge with the cheek. On the reverse, the tail is visible, but not split. The horn is full, rounded, but weak. There is some loss of detail on the left shoulder, upper back, head, and beard. Each side would straight-grade at EF-40.
Thanks for sharing your coin with us!

Hi fortcollins. I wanted to express that you are a treasure to this forum. For those of us like me who are less sophisticated in how we grade, you bring so many new dimensions to what goes into grading a coin. It incorporates knowledge about the minting process, the design of the coin and how it wears in circulation. Although many knowledgeable people in these forums know the things that you know, you take the time to explain your thought process. I think that it is great that you pass on these things to newer collectors and those wanting to engage in a changing and evolvolving hobby. Although some may feel that your posts are TL;DR, I never felt that way because you are clearly so knowledgeable. Thank you!
