[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1252028, member: 26302"]As a net grade I would give it aVF. I consider myself to be a tougher grader most of the time, so please do not get mad. It would be a tossup if the reverse was centered to call it a VF, (noticable wear on both sides, leading to flatness in areas), and the offcenter nature of the reverse would not allow me personally to "bump it up" to full VF. Its a very nice coin, very pleasant. I hate giving my grades out since some get offended. I collect a good deal of F coins myself, I think there is nothing wrong with a little good honest wear. Put it on Ebay as an EF and it would probably be undergraded! :) Chris Btw I just read a terrific writeup on grading in the Feb 11 Celator. Very good overall article on the subject, and the author gives shout outs to our own Doug as well![/QUOTE]
