I think you forgot the pic.

 

FINE-15. Nice find!

 

I'm no expert, but I'd say VF-20.

 

Take the picture before you put it into a 2X2, then we can see the coin

 

Originally yes I did lol, But there here now!

 

F-12

 

i would say F-15 also !!

 

F-15

 

Those photos show how much dust gets trapped in a 2x2.

 

Ah! Come on you guys. Full separation of the cheek and jaw, full wheats and you call it fine? That is VF30.

 

Agree with rlm's cents, VF30. Nice find roll searching!

Don't know how they get a Fine out of this coin....

Here's an NGC VF20



Yours has much more details

 

I was going by the ear.... and this:

 

I can see VF-20 in the slabbed coin, but I can not see the 'complete separation' in the OP of the obverse. So F-15

 

VF-20 IMO

 

I can see about a 20.

 

Since seeing so many varying posts from F-12 to VF30, I thought posting better pics would be a must. Something worth noting: there is a very minor rim nick on the obverse. Also: Strong Wheat lines with not much wear on the tips.

 

You original pictures were much better as they were straight on. But I am still on 30/35.

I cannot believe people see as much or more wear than this coin. Notice the flat cheek and the lack of a hair line above the ear. BTW, that is the PCGS VF20 example.

 

it looks to be about VF-20. very nice find!
