    As stated in my other recently posted GTG thread, I was fortunate to acquire this slabbed 20 center from @Randy Abercrombie. Thank you kindly, Randy.

    This too is PCGS graded.

    Don't worry about insulting guesses. Give it your best shot.

    Nice. I'm not good at grading. But, I'll say that I got one in change back in the fifties. They are exciting.

    Nice pickup. I still need one of these for my typeset. I am going with F-15. I like the way it looks.

    They might have called out the scratch under the eagle's right talon, but I'm guessing it straight graded.

    looks very similar to an old soap box coin I once owned. Mine was graded VG-10 so that is what I will guess. James

    I don't see how anyone could insult this coin! It has absolutely perfect gem circulated cameo color and appeal.

    I'm going to toss out the very unusual grade of F-15. Looking at the letters on Liberty, there's not enough for a 20, but more than a 12.

    I’d be at a F-12 due to LIBERTY on the shield and the scratches at the Eagles talons. Nice addition.

    Ok folks, here's the reveal.
    Those who picked the F-12 are correct.

    Thank you for playing.

    I said 15 and I'm sticking with it. It's just such a rare grade that the graders often don't even consider it. Kinda like how 20 and 30 are fairly common, but you don't see many 25's.
