KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/13/2008 8:48 pm Based on the detail I see, I'd say VF20--or perhaps better. Does that ring true to you? The value given in Charlton's varies quite a bit from VF20 $275 to EF40 $1250. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/14/2008 11:26 am There could easily be more detail than I see in the photo. Here's a guide I used because I'm not so familiar with Victoria coins. Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 03:04 am I would say VF30. These are the guidelines I go by from J.A. Haxby's book F- braid segments begin to merge together VF- braid is clear but not sharp EF- braid slightly worn but generally sharp and clear Report this Post to the Staff
asciibaron Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 09/25/2008 10:41 am agreed on the VF20 - the braid is not worn down to the cheek and appears as a braid. -Steve Report this Post to the Staff
