I hope I don't wear out my welcome with too many posts on grading and certification. I am still looking for guidance and opinions on the grades of several coins and if they should be slabbed. I have several older quarters and a Twenty Cents piece. I will place each one in a new topic post. This one is the 1875-S Seated Liberty 20c coin. Grade? Certification yes or no?   |

Looks like a decent VG-10 to me.

I'll say VG-10, maybe F-12. Not worth submitting.

It is an attractive looking coin for this issue. The issue is that the shield is obliterated with none of the details showing. Moreover, there seem to be a number of dark marks on the shield that appear to be intentional damage that occurred a while ago. I don't think this is a candidate for slabbing imho. I would purchase a few acrylic 2x2 holders and label the "Your Father's Coin Collection" and make it a family keepsake.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Original VG. Shield is always weak on 20 cents.

Shield detail almost looks damaged. Below average eye appeal for the grade.

May not be able to tell with the condition, but check the MM very closely for signs of S over S RPM.

It looks too good for G6, but that's what it might get if you send it in. That's not to say you should send it in.

Errers and Varietys.
