[QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 269905, member: 103422"]According to my 6th edition ANA Grading standards.... VG8 is...Outline of feathers show but some are smooth. Legend and date are visable. Some letters in LIBERTY show; any combination of the two full letters and parts of others is sufficient. Reverse: Slight detail in wreath shows, but the top is worn smooth. Very little outline shows in the bow. Rim is complete. F12....Obverse: Some detail shows in the hair and feathers. Ribbon is worn smooth. LIBERTY normally shows with no letters missing. Reverse: Some details are visable in the wreath and bow. Tops of leaves are worn smooth. Is this the same as your book reads? The difference to me looks like the detail in the feathers. In the grade of Fine all letters normally show where in VG8 at least two full letters must show. On the reverse the difference would be in the details of the wreath and bow, more detail would show in the Fine grade where the VG8 there would just be an outline of the wreath and bow. Thats my interpretation of the difference between the two. There may be others here that see it differently.[/QUOTE]
