    This coin IMO is a VF: Obverse Lines are fully present on the Cotton leaves and wheat grains show wear but are well defined.
    Reverse Wing Features are weak but visible. Some details on Eagle Head, Leaves on the wreath visible with detail showing.

    Key to me are the lines on the Eagle's Wings. Detail of Wheat Grains and separation of the hairline and face.

    Thanks again. With only a $5 spread on the greysheet between F and VF to me it's not a big deal. I got the coin for just under VG Bid so I'm happy.

    Nice! I have one in AU. I obtained it from my parents' work partner who allowed me to search through his change bowl. The coin, to me, has great sentimental value because he is now deceased.
