StackerBacker New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 03:40 am Do you think the scratch on the face and the pin mark under the "E" in UNITED will details it?.or just lower it? Report this Post to the Staff
wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 08:35 am I'm at about F12. The scratch likely details it, although it doesn't bother me. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:28 am I'm at VF-20+, would probably straight-grade. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18630 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:45 am I'm with coinfrog. looks like the VF25 range but the marks all along the rev rim. possible small rim hit at obv K4 and overall eye appeal i'd net it to VF20 Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36491 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 1:03 pm Looks like a VF-25 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
StackerBacker New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 1:21 pm Those grades would line up with about what I paid for it, in my price range I'm typically used to just seeing the silhouette on the obverse with few details, so I told myself that even if it was details I'd be happy with it, but seeing it could grade straight makes me thrilled to bits. Thanks for replies! Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 6:07 pm If only that scratch was somewhere else other than her face. From my first thoughts I'm downgrading it a bit for that scratch and the reverse is just not appealing at all. The "Liberty" caught my eye very quickly though. It's very strong. I'm torn between and F12 and F15. Edited by dsking 03/12/2023 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 05:26 am I'd give it a VF-20. The combination of the face scratch and rim dings may detail it. At least it is original uncleaned, unlike a large number of other CBH's. Report this Post to the Staff
