My eyeball grade would be more like a VF-30/35ish, a full liberty in headband and overall appearance has that washed-out look, perhaps by interesting lighting angles. It could also be cleaned or dipped giving it that look.

I'll say F15 based on these images.

I'd say obverse 15, reverse 12. But a lot of that is based on line wear, and the photo glare might be concealing shallow but existing lines on the shield and devices.

Photos are way too bright, surfaces are washed out.

From what I can see I'll go F15/VF20.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Agree with pics too bright but the full liberty is enough for me to call it VF-20. Can't tell if it is cleaned or not from these pics.

F12. looks like an older cleaning. all of your coins so far have this dull gray look to them. to me that kind of leans to the fact that someone cleaned this up a while back before you acquired them
