This is a recent pickup of mine, I figured I couldn't go wrong with a semi-key SLQ It has a bit of dark toning streaked across the obverse and both sides are free of any major hits or marks.
In my experience the '27-S comes with a soft strike and therefore has a relaxed grading standard compared to most SLQ dates. I think this one could go VG-10 or F-12 at a grading service. It looks nice and original.
For comparison, here is a coin I've posted before. This one is graded by ANACS as VF-30. Most CCF graders had it pegged at about F-15. If my coin is fairly graded at VF-30 Biokemist's example likely has a shot at F-12.
