I'll play. VF25

 

AU

 

X/F details .

 

it is a coin?

 

Very good... you should submit your resume to a tpg...
Btw if details is your answer could you state why please?? IE: color , cleaning, etc

 

vf details

 

VF details

 

1806 Large 6 VF NGC (35) details . Corrosion at 5 PM on the reverse.
But better pics would make it easier to discern.

 

35. Not enough separation in the hair at the forehead for XF. Ignoring problems, as I really can't say one way or another from the picture if they're serious.

 

XF-40,

Nice coin!! I love draped bust coppers. Congrats on that beauty

 

35. I really wanted to go 40 but, @messydesk nailed it. I can't see anything in the pics to justify a details grade.

Edit: Maybe a shot at a + or *.

 

xf 40

 

Vf 30 bn I think the minor bit of crust not enough for a details grade

 

VF35

 

And the winner is.............

 

as stated previously.... messy desk nailed it...

 

I think it just missed xf.... i also think strike had more to do with the missing details than wear imo..... heres a good question for you guys: vf20= $230 and xf40= $425...........so should this be valued closer to xf $ closer to vf20 $ or right smack dab in the middle at around $300????

 

Let's put it this way: I'd give it a VF38 if I could.

 

Yep... so if this was your coin and you were selling would you ask closer to the xf40 price then????
