I'm thinking VG10-F12?
Maybe some light hair lines from an old cleaning...?
Looks pretty good in hand.
What do you think?
Thanks,

F12 sounds right. Difficult to judge from these if it will straight grade though.

VG10 / F12 as well. Reverse looks very much F12, but the obv lacks enough detail in the photo. If the real coin is sharper then F12. Otherwise, split grade here.

Stay well,

The LDS die state suggests that some of the lost detail may be due to die state, rather than circulation wear. IMHO, that tips the obverse to F-12. The reverse is on the F-12/F-15 bubble. The weak motto could be die state, but the neck feathers are clearly circulation, and fall just short of F-15. There's an old cleaning, but it's market acceptable.

I'm at F-12.

I can see it at F15 but F12 is more likely.
