What grade would YOU give this coin?

This 1904s barber is toned black and hard to see the detail. Hope the cheap camera photo shows enough for some opinions.

I am not good at grading these at all, but I would say VG? I say that because of the corrosion, but can be way off. Nice coin by the way. :thumb:

Hard to tell with those pictures but I'd start off with F-15.

Hard to tell. Reverse looks GF/AVF ( so a high F/low VF). Obverse looks straight F.

 

I'd guess F-15, but need better pics to really see things.

 

It actually doesn't look to bad under the grit. I would give it a VF.

 

Yah the photo does make it look corroded but there is no corrosion on it, under magnification the marks on the photo look like compression of the metal from stamping. The dark tone makes a good photo hard to get.

 

VF-35, no doubt.

However, probably cleaned, a long time ago and retoning.
Also, a hit on Liberty and something on the neck.

 

VF detail, corroded, net F

 

F-15 ish

 

thats a really nice detian coin, too bad its toned like that!

 

Vf

 

I agree with Frank, no doubt VF

 

And a very nice date!
A true semi-key, and even better in that grade.
(Even with its problems).
