[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 553835, member: 17753"]Hey -- have you been reading my mind? ;) On wheaties (correct me if I'm wrong) I tend to look at both: cheek/jaw separation; and lines in the wheat heads -- and kind of average the two. Does that make sense (cents)? If so, the classical definition (as far as this semi-newbie knows) of wheaties are: VG: half the wheat lines show F: wheat lines worn but mostly (almost all? or all?) visible. VF: cheek and jaw separation, no worn spots on wheat heads. So, (wrt to the 1913 that started this thread) it seems to me that the front [B]might [/B]be VF or maybe higher, but (at least over the internet, with my poor eyes) the back seem to me to be VG or lower. So, with my limited knowlege, if I were grading it for myself to decide how much to pay, I'd be thinking F at best. OK, experts . . . . how's that analysis (from someone who's desperate to learn how to do this better?) (I've left the "cleaning" part out of this, b/c I don't know enough to recognize it here)[/QUOTE]
