Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 06/28/2011 01:47 am Needs a bit more of LIBERTY to qualify as VG; I'd say G-6, with original surfaces. The hits on the obverse are a bit distracting but not out of line for a lower-grade coin like this. Nice semi-key date! Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/28/2011 02:18 am thanks. I have about 40 in my collection, but this one is probably the most valuable so far as I only have several other low grade semi-keys. It's interesting, because I was on the fence between a 6 and an 8 for this grade. It has a little less "Liberty" than other VGs I've seen(though I can see parts of the "TY", but overall looks stronger than a 6. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 06/28/2011 02:37 am 40, wow! Don't have that many yet in my Barber dime Dansco yet John, but I am also doing a VG/F set. I was going with G6 originally but after seeing the VG8 on PCGS online grading, I went with VG8. Well, subjective right ;) Nice coin! Sold a few coins today so I will get back to packaging. My cell phone showed me this post...your interupting me...lol! swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 06/28/2011 02:40 am Report this Post to the Staff

greghansen Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/01/2011 7:54 pm G6 details. Don't like that damage on reverse at U. Also uneven color and rim ding/scratch at 4 oclock on obverse would bother me. Oh well, it's not going to bust the bank so probably ok as an album coin. Report this Post to the Staff
