Message:: [QUOTE="KurtS, post: 2107824, member: 11786"]One also ought to look at the "meat" left on the denticles as some indication of where this IHC's grade falls. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  Just quoting Rick Snow's IHC grading guide here: VG-8: "Three letters of LIBERTY are visible." (but they need not be legible)VG-10: "One letter of LIBERTY is not visible."F-12: "All letters of LIBERTY must be partly visible, though they need not be entirely legible." Based on that, and what I see left on the ribbon--VG-10 easy, maybe F-12. I won't comment on surfaces because photos are not always accurate. On a mid-grade common IHC like 1901, the grading differences only amount to a buck or two in value...[/QUOTE]
