My observations on this one looks like different grades for obverse compared to reverse. A distracting obverse scratches thru the sun rays for starters on this side. Also no gown details. Maybe G4 obverse.
Reverse gets to VF range with feather and eagle head details.
How is an overall assement derived? Am I way off here.
Anxious ro know what ya'll think.

G4 obverse seems a tad to low to what I see
I feel this is about a VF-20ish overall and that scratch seems a tad to small to details the coin

I'd be in the F12-F15 range.

May grade Fine, but it will be hard to convince people of that.

Fine-15 detail, with one obvious obverse scratch, minor reverse rim bruise, and faint parallel scratches that suggest abrasive cleaning. Decent coin for an album.

Quite unanimous here. I will hold on to it a bit for a good reference coin based on you alls input. Much thanks.
