Tough series, I'm in the XF40/45 fence. Sharpness of XF45, but surface preservation may drop it down to XF40.

Gettin' silly with the titles, I like it.
XF-40, good strike for a 20 cent and I also notice it's a Philly. Some luster around devices, and a touch of wear to high points.

Put me in the XF camp. A difficult series to grade when you are used to others of the seated types and not frequently encountered to become consistent with grading these.

After spending some time between two different photograde sites, I must revise my previous assessment and call this one VF-25. This is one of those series that I may get the opportunity to grade once in a blue moon. This is a series where the 1875S has the highest mintage of somewhere around 1.3 million and the other dates and mints are so small. PCGS claims that of the 1875S (1.3 million), they estimate only 25,000 exist in all grades combined. That is a sleeper!

Appearance to me looks VF-35, PCGS may have said XF-45?

This is one coin I never bothered with but I'm basically with the majority with VF-35 to EF-40 . So what grade did they give it ?

Technical grade VF-30, but I could see this detailed. There is an old cleaning that may be market acceptable, but the contacts marks in the obverse field east of Liberty make me pause.

Mr Whatisit & TY2020b win. I also thought it to be over-graded when I bought it, though I don't agree it deserves a details designation. I paid $430 for it, which is a steal by PCGS standards, but which NGC says is about right.  Edited by pristine2
