Wondering how you'd grade this one? Appreciate your time and opinions. Private online sale so I can't provide better pictures than what I have for the time being.

Do you think the scratch on the face and the pin mark under the "E" in UNITED will details it?.or just lower it?

I'm at about F12. The scratch likely details it, although it doesn't bother me.

I'm at VF-20+, would probably straight-grade.

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

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!

VF-20, not sure about a details designation, it is a toss up.

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.

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.
