panzaldi - defend your F-12 grade, please
i never grade a coin based on one marker. I look at the overall coin for the sharpness of its devices.
obv. - the ear has more definition than a 10 as well as all the leaves where 75% of them still have their tips separated. the lips are more rounded. stars and lettering have sharper edges. I agree that LIBERTY is closer to a 10 but looking at only one marker is not prudent.
rev - rim is sharper and more defined than a 10, leaves on the olive branch are more rounded. the tail has a tad more feather separation and imo the lettering and overall look of the reverse is a little better than a 10.
could it pull a VG10. Yep. imo there is enough meat there that it could cross to a F12 and therefore my grade
