I can't decide... VG8 or VG10 (or something else?) LIBERTY seems really weak in the photo but there are features that are quite strong, like the rim and reverse side.

Sorry for the quality of the pictures. Seller's pix.

I'm at VG08, just shy of VG10. Choice and great eye appeal. Nice honest circ!

poster child for an original VG8

just a side note. you cannot just look at one marker to determine a grade on any coin. there are just too many factors to take into consideration. the more coins you look at the more you'll understand that. good assessment to put a VG8 or 10 on it not just looking at the number of letters on the headband. photograde is good to get into a range but final assessment is based on knowledge of the series

Just received the coin in the mail today. Do better pictures change anyone's opinion on grade?

lovely specimen a choice VG-8 for VG-10 it has to have a big details punch towards fine. Probably 1,300 - 1,500 in existence most AG to G4 with many cleaned or scratched nice pickup.
