<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1027295, member: 6036&quot;]By a strict application of ANA Standards verbatim, I suppose one would have to call this F12 or F15. The problem with those standards, when applied to early US coinage, is poor strike can obliterate detail even on mint state coins. I have seen AU55-MS62 CBHs with very little clasp detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this coin would be VF20 money on the bourse floor all day long.
