If this an accurate photo, I'll say F-15, even the shield isn't complete. Keys get a nod, but surely this can't be VF.

F-15 + but I just can't quite get to VF-20.

Thanks for the link. By that standard, it looks like F-12, but something tells me we're going to be surprised here.

LIBERTY and bottom of the headband are not bold enough for VF-20.

F-15, with nice original surfaces. A solid example at that grade level. Congrats!

Other folks may not agree, but I think PCGS is going to call this coin VF-25. I personally think that it shouldn't go higher than VF-20, but I think it gets the bump to a higher grade.

It's pretty easy to be a pro all of a sudden at grading when looking on ebay helps haha.

I still say we need a blind test to show who the real ones are, Coin Frog no doubt is one of them.

Lovely key date. I'll go F15, Liberty is too worn for VF IMO.
