<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kookoox10, post: 1580463, member: 31129&quot;]I agree with the vast majority of the guys and say it&#039;s a low level VF, maybe a 20-25.&nbsp; Just because most of the letters in &quot;liberty&quot; don&#039;t show up completely, doesn&#039;t mean it excludes it from a VF designation.&nbsp; With these Barber coins, and guys like Log Potato can attest to it, there are other details to consider when determining the grade.&nbsp; For example, how clear the leaves on liberty&#039;s crown can be seen, the definition of the eyes and mouth line and cheeks, and for the quarters and halves, the definition of the motto on the reverse along with the arrow bundle and feathers on the eagle all play a part in determining the grade.&nbsp; Run on sentences aside, by looking at a fair share of graded examples, you will find more clarity in the grading scales for Barbers.&nbsp; It&#039;s not quite all over the map, but there is a wide interpretation of any given grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Barber coinage was the work horse of it&#039;s day.&nbsp; People deemed them unattractive, therefore less of them were ever saved.&nbsp; Which makes the grading scale a little bit different in the eyes of collectors as there were less VF+ types to be found.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
