[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1463445, member: 307"]I agree with most everyone here. The coin has good detail for a F but it seems to have an incomplete outer edge to the shield. The shield edge is essential to a F grade. This is why some have said VG and they wouldn't necessarily be wrong in suggesting so. If you are a stickler for the rules, they are correct. The leg wear is consistent with a F grade, but neither it nor the chain mail show enough detail for VF consideration even if you overlook the shield issue. This coin points out why hard and fast rules make grading certain series of coins difficult. This coin is a borderline VG/F and it depends on whether or not you want to be generous or conservative as to which you think is correct. I would put this coin in a nice VG set. If F was my bottom grade, I'd pass on this coin.[/QUOTE]
