    Do you thing PCGS would give it VF-35?

    Perhaps F-12 in my opinion. I like it, thanks for sharing.

    I think you would be blessed to get a 35 grade on her.

    They might give it a 35. In my opinion it's a VF-30, or perhaps VF-25.

    I could go 30 on her but wouldn't think twice if she brought 25.

    I think it would go VF-20 at PCGS. But it's a nice coin with decent surfaces for a Classic Head. At best, it's a EAC F-12.

    Environmental Damage IMHO.

    These build up grimy areas are a little too green to be just accumulated debris from what I can see on my monitor.

    But some coin series they let is slide on more than others.

    Hopefully I am mistaken.

    Example of what I am talking about, although there also other areas.

    F12/15 in my opinion. Regardless of its grade I would be happy to have it in my collection.

    Plain 4, S-295, I think. Die crack at S11 diagnostic. Don't take this as gospel, however.

    VF-30

    Yes, S-295, the last of the early large cents according to Sheldon.

    I had one that was a beautiful AU which I sold because I believed in the Morgan Dollar graders at one of the TPGs who unfairly body bagged it. The one I have now is an unfortunate mediocrity.
