[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4925828, member: 19165"]Do you have something like the ANA grading standards or Photograde, which describes how the coin should look in each grade? If not, I highly recommend you invest in something like that. I agree with the majority of posters, who say this is a high VG at most. Additionally, the coin you bought has a variety of surface issues. It has been harshly cleaned. When you get the coin in hand, look at the reverse top left quadrant. I'll bet there is a strong patch of hairlines that will jump out at you at certain angles. Additionally, there is a big scratch across the eagle's wing. If you don't know how to recognize these issues, I'm sure the members here can recommend a good book or you can check my signature below. I don't know how much you paid for the coin, but given that you thought it was a VF I'm guessing you paid way too much. If the seller will accept returns, I strongly encourage you to return this coin.[/QUOTE]
