I'm thinking about buying this but I'm not too sure of the grade. I am no expert but I was thinking F. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Good, details, environmental damage. Eye Appeal 3/10.

Almost all of these have terrible strikes.

I'd advise PCGS or NGC on these, especially NGC, for an honest grade with or without details.

The rim details make me think this is a little better than just Good. VG-10 details, environmental damage.

I'm with IGE on this one, 10 with porosity and some scratches on the left reverse near the shield. Has good eye appeal for its condition, and unlike a lot of later NJ's it's decently centered and most of the major details are visible. I'd be pleased to own it.

I believe this is Maris 62-Q (R-3) : large planchet, plain shield, high 8 in date; "W" and "M" initials hidden in the left and right sprigs under the horse head (not visible on this coin); it has the weak central strike common to this variety.
