Thanks for the kick

Here is what the ANA guide says for VG-VF.

REV--About one-third of the feathers are visible, and the large feathers at ends of wings are well separated. Ete is visible. Rim is full and all letters are clear.

REV--Breast is worn smooth. Half the wing feathers are visible although well worn in spots. Top two layers of feathers are visible in left wign. Rim is full

VF
OBV--Left leg is worn flat. Wear spots show on head, breast, arms, and foot. Lines on skirt are visible but may be weak on coins before 1921. Breast is outlined.
