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.

I'd like a refresher from someone knowledgeable on how to grade this series. My best guess is G-VG.

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.

I agree with Jaobler. That one is on the bubble between VG10 and VF12.

Nice coin!

On the reverse with the letters worn into the rim, especially at the bottom, wouldn't that give the overall grade something like VG-10 max?
Rest in Peace

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.

I think yours is a bit overgraded, but it could be a notch over F-15 because of the weak strike.
