Well, from what I see.............. I would say the grade was below what you expected. I can only guess since I dont collect those. Hmmm.. I would say a Fine. A little strong for a VG but not enough detail on wings and the hair for a VF.

Thats my guess and I am sticking to it.

PS, now if I were purchasing the coin I would say its a weak Fine. 10 maybe if there is such a thing.

 

F...no better IMO....nice coin though....

F-15 is my guess

 

Obverse--Fine. Reverse looks slightly better.

 

Sgs Ms 70?

 

I agree with Fine, no doubt about it.

is that damage to the reverse rim, or just the holder? looks like it has an bump there.

 

Holder, What holder??? It was just the holder

I'd say an F-12. B12

 

Obverse -F12
Reverse-VF-20
I would say a Fine -15

 

OBV- F15
REV vf-25
My guess- F- 18,

UGS called it a VF 20.

 

Ahhh, freedom!!

Now that's the way I like em!!

 

A very nice coin.
My grade would be F 15.

 

Hard to tell without seeing it in hand.

I would have to go with a conservative f-15. Busts are usually over graded.

There are a couple spots in the legend which are worn down pretty far.

Overall it's a nice problem free coin.

 

well its not problem free....years ago that baby was cleaned....but its retoned...

Here you are. BTW, the grime is pretty thick near the edges. Actually covering some of the lettering near the rim on the reverse. Any suggestions, LOL...

For once I agree with UGS.
