CoinCorgi's 20-cent Piece

Bought this one slabbed quite awhile back. But it is free now. Be free, free, free!

Not my favorite coin in my type set, but it'll do. It's my only 20-cent piece. Pictures are from the TPG.

Tell me what grade you think it is, and then tell me what grade you think was given to it.

With no experience in this series but looking at an ANA grading book, I give it a VF20 but it was graded VF30.

 

nice coin - F-12 / VG-8 details?

 

F12, F15

 

I suppose it's a Fine-12. It's got four letters of the "LIBERTY" which is a diagnostic. I imagine that the TPG graded it VF-20, but there is a lot of wear on the reverse.

Here is a raw one I bought for an exhibit so that I could place it side-by-side with a Seated Quarter. I'd grade this one EF-40

 

Quit trying to trump everyone's coins with your superiors! I swear.... EVERY THREAD!

 

I was also at F-12.
If all coins were graded on the same scale then VG-08/ VG 10.
But this isn't the case and considering the series, F-12.

 

I'm also in the F12 camp and guessing the holder used to say either F15 or fine details

 

Sorry, I'll refrain from upstaging them, if you think that's what I'm doing. I thought people wanted to learn how to grade this series, which is not that easy.

If you think I always post superior coins, check out this gem, which I just posted in the ancient coin area.

 

For those saying "Details", what is it about the coin that details it?

Post anything you want, I don't care. I don't offend easy.

 

I see no reason to give your coin a "details grade." My "EF-40" could get "a details grade" because of the stain on the reverse. They could call it "environmental damage."

 

I don't think anything really suggests details from the pictures (and I wouldn't personally call it details). It's just something I thought was a possibility based on how the original question was framed.
If it did get a details grade, my guess would be cleaned.

 

Understood. Thanks!

 

Looks like a nice original Fine to me.

 

I'll post the grade in a few hours.

 

Vf in my unlearned estimation.

 

And oh the bloody drama......

 

LOL

 

VF. 20 to be technical.
