This will be my Christmas addition to my 7070 once I crack it out of its coffin. It is an 1875-S Twenty Cent Piece certified by Anacs. Any opinions on grade would be greatly appreciated. I will upload a pic of the holder in a few days. Thanks, JimR   |

This might go VF30 in today's holders.

I'll split the difference and say VF-25. CENTS on the reverse is pretty weak, but the rims and denticles are strong. With basically a full LIBERTY I think it's a lock for at least VF-20. Looks nice and original, too; an excellent choice for that album!  |

Ok the consensus seems to be VF20-VF30. Here is Anacs grade.  |

Gotta give us at least 24 hours to weigh in with opinions.  I'd have said VF30. My first thought was that ANACS allowed a nice reverse to affect their opinion of a poor obverse. Then, as usual, I went to look at Heritage results. Based on looking at pictures there, it seems a soft strike was expected from that issue, and your coin is solidly graded. Even AU examples showed softness through LIBERTY. |

I must work for ANACS because I looked at it and said EF-40. Nice one.

I was going to say VF-30. XF is definitely an overgrade.

I gave this coin a VF30 as well. PCGS would not have given this coin an XF40.
Definite overgrade. Nice coin though!
