    Hey CoinTalkers. I purchased this Barbre Half a few months ago. I would like to hear your opinions on whether you believe this coin would be able to make it into an F12 (PCGS or NGC) slab. "LIBERTY" is not ledgible, but your are able to see segments of where it used to be on the headband. You are also able to makeout the outlines if the leaves on the bust's headband as well. I am not sure what the diagnostics are for a coin that qualifies for a "Fine" grade, but I know that liberty has to be "visible" (quotes are whether you must be able to read the word, or just be able to see parts of the letters). Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in Advance,
    Brian

    I would say no. Wear alone may be similar to a PCGS fine. but those nicks detract.
