    I am still learning the grading standards and am trying to get it correct.

    I am having a hard time deciding on this one.

    What do you think F15 VF20 or something other?

    If you have not picked up a grading book yet this will help you get started

    but it is still a good idea to get a good book so you can read what to look for as far as Strike,Luster and such.

    I did get a grading book. I am using "The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfit Detection"

    I am still getting used to the standards and this one is tricky in my opinion

    That is a 25/30 without the ding. I am guessing it would stay VF.

    I see you've already made up your mind on the grade.

    I just need to get my jabs in on the net grading system. It's extremely subjective, and not as accurate as I think it needs to be.

    If this coin were in my collection, I'd call it VF-20 details, minor reverse rim bump.

    I'll give it a 25, a rim ding will bring it down...
