<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 557299, member: 4381&quot;]That is an interesting 20cent piece.&nbsp; It has good detail, generally EF details, IMO, maybe EF45.&nbsp; But it seems to be missing some of the critical detailed areas where grading is done.&nbsp; For example, in an EF40, according to the ANA grading guild, you should have a cap that shows wear but details.&nbsp; This coin virtually has no cap.&nbsp; It does have a lot of hair though.&nbsp; More than what a VF might have.&nbsp; Looking at the Scroll on the shield where it says liberty, &quot;LIBERTY&quot; should be sharp, and scroll edges should be raises.&nbsp; Your LIBERTY is not sharp, and I&#039;m beginning to think this might be a strike issue.&nbsp; You have EF detail in the head, more than half that is needed for a VF-30.&nbsp; So you think the coin would be EF-40 accept for the nagging problems I discussed above.&nbsp; And the same thing with the reverse.&nbsp; The Eagles head is EF are defined.&nbsp; The Obverse drapery is even EF45 details.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this coin is an EF40 overall with some strike issues.&nbsp; It looks to me like the cap and the letters in LIBERTY where never fully struck.&nbsp; Its a nice coin and I&#039;d be happy if I brought it for EF money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
