[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3041749, member: 78298"]First instinct was VF-25. The graded VF-30 in post #21 seems to support that guess. The OP obverse may be slightly better than the coin in post #21 but the reverse is worse, even given the latitude for the known weak strike/ crappy dies. If both sides are graded and then divided (someone posted this is not how it works) then I would be at 35/15 and a net VF-25 anyway. I don't know if it's true, but the poster said they grade the obverse, and only if the reverse is really bad, it will take down the grade, a great reverse won't increase the grade, which doesn't make any sense to me, especially in the case of the State and ATB quarters where the reverse is the important side. But even in that case if this were a VF-30, then the reverse brings it down to VF-25. (Beautiful coin.)[/QUOTE]
