<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1023429, member: 2972&quot;]Marshall,&nbsp; To answer your question: how to grade a coin like this?&nbsp;&nbsp; I first look at the obverse detail left -- that&#039;s the base details grade.&nbsp; It looked like a low end VF coin to me from the amount of detail left and I didn&#039;t really need to look at the reverse except to confirm.&nbsp; Next, I assess the problems and subtract a grade or two for each of them.&nbsp; I noted three problems, corrosion, cleaning and a planchet defect.&nbsp; The net of that is the coin went from 25 (low end VF) details to 6 (high end-good) net.&nbsp; That&#039;s how I do it.&nbsp; How do you do it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
