She's not flashy or hugely valuable, but she was still worth slabbing, I think. A nice, affordable circulated specimen. How would you grade it?

It's VG-10 to me, but agree this is a nice example. I wouldn't have spent the money for grading.

I'm in the VG/F bubble, but I think the reverse helps nudge it into F12 territory. Nice looking example.

I really like the surfaces of this coin, a nice honest and original example.

Just as an aside, your coin is a Browning-4 (B-4) variety, Rarity-1

Lots of wear I'd be at VG-10 for this one. A nice example.

I can see VG10 but (rightly or wrongly) I think it got a grade bump for eye appeal.

I don't agree that this coin did not merit grading.

Problem-free Capped Bust coinage with lovely original surfaces and color is always in demand and it can be tough to find these little circulated gems among all of the cleaned/details coins out there. This coin has great eye appeal and is a nice choice lower grade circulated example.

Just don't see it. A Fine coin should look like a Fine coin at first glance in a holder, and this is not even close.

If I had it in an envelope in my cabinet it'd have VG8 or VG10 written on it. But I'm sort of old school.
