[QUOTE="imrich, post: 2216570, member: 22331"]I "trade" that type of coin through-out the country with a minimum guaranteed grade meeting published A.N.A. Technical standards. I have a half-bag waiting for dealer collection currently where all coins are minimally in that F-12 technical condition. F-12 Reverse is defined: Vertical lines are visible but lack sharpness. Diagonal bands show on Fasces, but one is worn smooth at midpoint. VF-20 Reverse is defined: Wear shows on the two diagonal bands, but most details are visible. ALL VERTICAL LINES ARE SHARP. The posted image may be poor, but I suspect that regardless of image quality, the VF-20 A.N.A. published technical standard could not be met. I will agree that the coin may receive a Almost Uncirculated grade, as I've seen PCGS grade believed lesser quality coins with that grading disparity. JMHO[/QUOTE]
