I am using the RedBook specs until I can pick up a Photograde...I consider this F (full branches on fasces and diagonal bands worn nearly flat)...cross examination and why you give it that grade? Thanks gang!

VG10. Little too much wear to command a F12.

I would actually call it F-12. F/VF reverse, but the obverse brings it down IMO.

That is an F12 or F15 coin.

Your description of the reverse is accurate.

F-12 is fair...full rims and not too much distracting wear.
