[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 308675, member: 7957"]Here is what I can see; The ear lap (the thing over the ear hole whatever it is called) appears to have no wear. The bow tie is definitely not worn into the jacket. The eye brow is raised for its entire length. The wheat lines are 100% full and show no evidence of wear. The wheat grains all appear to be separated with minimal or no wear. None of these conditions appear to be true of the VF-25 above. Therefore, this coin must be graded higher than VF25. Just to be sure, I am talking about NGC/PCGS grading, not Doug's standards. BTW - I see nothing unusual around any of the letters in "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" even blowing the picture up to 12" plus, but my monitor sucks. All of that being said, that picture is lacking. Would it be possible for the op to post a better picture?[/QUOTE]
