Interestingly only one person guessed too high... and just by a single point. Either we were all too conservative (most of us voted VF20/25) or PCGS got it wrong
This ones my own. For now. I have had higher graded ones I've sold as they didn't have the surface appeal this one does. My opinion pcgs is spot on with the grade. Cac agreed
How interesting. That is exactly the image I used to grade it as VF30. I believe you think there is more detail because the darker coin defines the wear better. To me the deails are nearly identical.
I think between the coins the wear and weak strike points are different. So they look different but is about the same amount of wear
Maybe it is just the strike Bill, and if I had an opportunity to choose one for my collection, I'd grab yours for sure. It just has the look.
