I'd like opinions on the grade of this coin. See how it compares to what it was listed as. I'm of the opinion some list a grade higher than a coin actually is.

I'll say G-06, others will surely argue for VG-08.

I'm thinking its riding the G6-VG8 edge. Acetone may (may...) reduce or eliminate the black 'gunk spots' on the reverse.

With 2 Letters in Liberty, I am at Good, Reverse feathers and shield show weak detail. Nice smoothie Coin though.

This was listed as fine but I kind of thought it was lower. Still in better condition than others I had gotten.

I'll say Good, close to VG.

3.5 full letters in LI..Y and half of the T.

Reverses on Barber coins usually wear faster than obverses, and NO wasn't exactly known for quality strikes, but obverse carries the grade for me at VG8
