This is not my coin but was for sale recently. Curious what you think the grade is based on these TrueView pics.   |

I'd say F-12, straight grade. Nice Comet head!

these are about as fun to grade as Buff's and it all depends if the grader has knowledge enough about the series
the coin looks really close to F15 but since we TV photos to by. i'll say F12 straight. I think they are a little more lenient on these when it comes to cleaning so I'm with Zurie

I'll say F-12 straight as well, though I'm not a big fan.

These dies used for the O-106 are probably the lowest relief dies in the entire CBH series due to the low initial relief combined with die lapping. Grading the O-106 has its own challenges.
Looks cleaned to me but I would say net F-15. If it were choice, I would say 20.

This coin graded VF20 despite the large scratch down the face of liberty. You can see this scratch very faintly in the TrueView pic, but under normal lighting it pops.  |

I don't have an issue with a straight grade on a coin of this age and level of wear. VF20 sounds generous though.

I'm happy to see it grade at VF20. this means the person who graded the coin has some knowledge of the series.

Oh wait.... no I like cherrypicking undergraded coins   If only photographers knew coins, they would rotate the coin in the orientation it is supposed to be viewed upon. Miss Liberty is cloud watching! Side note, the coin looks less cleany in hand than the truview, so I think the VF-20 grade is justifiable. Suffering from bust half fever.

I had this one at F-15. I think VF is a bit generous.

i think the new photo in the case is better than the original photo so I'm on board with their grade
