Just the obverse. You probably don't need the reverse. A decent coin. What do you think?

I am going to say VF-20 though its debateable, some may say F-12 because of where the hair meets the top portion of the cheek where it is worn.
But I am looking at the ribbon more than anything where it blends into the lower portion of the neck,If you look at the illustration as shown in the grading guide you will see what I mean.
Still a nice coin when you look at the denticles, which I look at first and in this coin I find the denticles very pleasing to the eye.

Neweden, Shaft, thanks for the input! I don't find the web page grader often mentioned here that helpful so I've downloaded a group of ICCS Vicky obverses from ebay. I think, based on that, VF-20 is the likely grade. You've helped me confirm that.

Thanks for the input, DBM! It could be just what you say or maybe it's a slider. Who knows. Still a decent looking coin for a first year issue.

Nice coin, but being conservative, I would agree with DBM and go with F15

I'd go F-15 on this coin too. Should be worth around 100 bucks.
