    What do you guys think this will grade? I'm new to this, but guessing G06 or VG08. Don't think I can get F. What do you guys think?

    G-4 plus Rim nicks?

    I'd push it to a G-06.

    I don't think the rim nicks are extreme enough to warrant a details grade. Calling it an F would be a bit of a stretch though, I say VG08.

    The reverse detail brings it up to a VG-8 in my opinion. Definitely won't make Fine.

    Solid VG8, I love Liberty's profile on the '07 and '08's. Nice collector coin.

    I'm pretty sure the Overton is O-107. R.3, a bit on the scarcer side. Lump at the throat like an adam's apple, arrowheads solidly joined.

    Longshot, I was trying to attribute it the other day and was leaning to O-107, too. Glad to hear you see the same. Thanks.

    I'd call that a very nice VG. I like the smooth even grey of the fields, although the brown spots are slightly unattractive. Still, as an early date problem free Bust half, I'd say you did well in buying this one!

    Thanks all for your opinions and confirmations. When I get around to sending it in, I'll come back and update everyone on where it landed.

    VG 10. Pretty solid eagle detail on the reverse. Bordering on F grade.

    I'll be honest, unless you have a really strong desire to have it in a slab, there is no reason to send this one in. The fees will be $30, and the coin is worth around $100.
