I am guessing f-12, even with some weak lettering. If this is a weak strike year, it may get VF.

 

I would say VF 20. It does have a weak strike in my opinion and it looks like it's been cleaned.

Ben, what does the red label refer to???

F-15 details, cleaned, net VG.

 

Red stands for PROBLEM coin---As far as I know they don't NET grade the coin.
I grade it F12....

Ill say they graded it VF20 -

 

Looks like F15 / Cleaned.

 

VF-30 cleaned.

 

I didn't mention cleaned, I should have, i think more than half of these are cleaned.

 

F-15 cleaned

 

I'll say VF20. I guess PCI will say VF30

 

vf-polished.

 

definitely a VF-30 w/out any problems.

 

VF- 20 cleaned.

 

Okay, the (VF-30 Cleaned) crowd got it right
