Just enough detail to snag a F-15 to me, but F-12 reasoning will not surprise me either...  |

I'll say VG-10, but a sharper pic of the headdress would help.

Given a couple of small issues I'll give it F-12+  |

20-25 years ago this would grade vg-8 maybe vg-10...now adays seems like a partial liberty can get you a fine, same as some of the barber series.

Things sure have changed from the Brown & Dunn days.

Interesting coin. The feathers, ribbon, hair curls, pearls, ear, and eye say F-15, but LIBERTY and the cheek say VG-10. The shield, knot, ribbons, acorns, and arrows say F-15, but the olive leaves and central oak leaves say F-12.
I think there's more going on here than circulation wear. The pics are too blurry to get a solid feel, but I strongly suspect strike weakness.
There is too much detail to hold this below F-12.

Agree that it is in the F range but as we all know, these low grade coins can easily be unattractive. From the nice even color to the lack of glaring problems it is an attractive coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

look at that headress sharp and clear, LIBERTY was probably weak from inception and I've seen these as high as VF20 on certain key dates it technically meets F standards, I am at F-15. Good looking album coin.

Nice-looking for sure. To me, it's still a VG.  |
