I'll say F-12.

so many of these are poorly struck so when I grade them I look at the leaves which tends to give a better feel for the strike. how defined are the veins and leaf separation. on the reverse I'm looking at the centers of the stars. I think it falls between VF25 & VF30. the glare on these photos is not helping. always remove from holder when possible for accurate grading

there are no distracting marks or anything I can see to pull a details designation so the price on this was a good buy.

F-15 for me. Not sure the surfaces are original, can't tell with the coin in a 2x2.

Obverse looks fairly worn, reverse much better. VF-20

Seems like another coin that was flatly struck which makes assessing a circulated example challenging. I'll err on high side given how sharp the reverse is and say VF-30.
