XF-40 - looks like the bowtie and the coat are worn down to the point where the are merged. The top of the ear is worn flat, and on the reverse...
The 1935 Buffalo - the horn is almost non-existent, so that leans me towards G-4. But otherwise there are VG to F details. With the Liberty on...
1937 - A very nice VF-35. Very close to an EF, but the lack of detail in the tail and overall wear on the buffalo's body. 1936-D - AU all the...

It's close to VF, but I would only go as high as strong Choice-Fine (F15 or F18) for three reasons: 1) It looks like the wheat lines are almost...
>>pparently I'm just to conservative as a grader? I see no reasonable answer as to the VF grade.<< I gotta agree - in fact, I would be just a...
