The first of two bin grabs for the week. All replies are appreciated. I have a grade in mind, after posting a few of these now. I'm very curious to see how I do...   |

Looks to be more of a F12 - I was going to say F15 but the reverse is just too worn.

I agree with the Fine grade.
Errers and Varietys.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

VG 10 or F 12 . Reverse is pretty rough.

My mentor back in the day taught me to grade coins starting with WLHs. San Francisco's equipment was worn out during this period. Most 28s's had very weak strikes. Liberty's hand, for example, was probably never fully formed on your coin. Some of the eagle feathers were never really quite there. So the 28s would get a half-grade boost as a matter of course. If it were from 30s or 40s, this coin would net VG8, but the date gives it a lift to VG10. I suppose F12 is possible.

I'd say F12- perhaps on the vg-f edge.

Nice solid F-12 with decent eye appeal.
