[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1977346, member: 112"]Yup, used to be that way. But the ANA changed it in 2005 with their 6th edition. Now - F12 - horn and tail are smooth but partially visible VF20 - Point of horn is not always visible VF30 - Horn is worn but distinct on coins that are well struck EF40 - horn, hair and back are lightly worn EF45 - horn is sharp and nearly complete, although often weakly struck Since 1986 the ANA has only changed the grading criteria on 2 coins, the Buff in grades from F12 to EF45, and the Lincoln cent (wheaties only) in the same grade range.[/QUOTE]
