    I purchased this 1908-S IHC, I think it's under graded, what do you think the grade is? 1908 S IHC A-horz.jpg

    Nice woody. I'd guess 35, maybe 40.

    Interesting woodie. Nice semi-key. I’ll concur with @ksmooter61 and guess 35 to 40.

    I'd say VF-30/35. The green on the reverse is a bit concerning, hopefully it's not corrosion.

    I'd go with 35. I like the look.

    @Mr. Numismatist
    Since I have a problem with Red/green colors I can't see that.

    In the old days it was Fine-15 to VF-20. Today it's a VF-25 to 30. Calling it EF-40 is grade-flation.

    Okay, here is a Mint State 64. An AU would only have a brush of wear on the devices and most of its mint luster. The LIBERTY is a little weak on the OP coin. How does LIBERTY look on this Mint State piece which would really be just as sharp on a true AU.

    XF40, nice coin. Verdigris on the reverse gives it character.

    I’d say it a VF-30 but in a real good day it could pull a 35.
