<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 381209, member: 12965"]<font face="Arial"><font size="2">Will someone please read to me from a grading book, on what constitutes a F-8 or F-12? Because what I see is a shield with all vertical & horizontal bars still faintly visible and a faint LIBERTY in the diagonal bar and clear and distinct drapery folds, with full frontal facial features (side of the face is worn), along with a strong date. Then, on the reverse, most feathers visible on the eagle but worn, and leaf detail on the olive branch in the right claw, and a strong legend. There are no rim dings that would count against it and the whizzing isn't as apparent as is discussed because the marks are in all different directions, which tends to be circulation marks and not whizzing, since whizzing is superficial and not as deep as the marks being described as whizz marks. This coin has been dipped, not whizzed and it has minimal wear, so someone please quote a grading guide that says all of that is a F-8 or F-12? I don't see that! I see a solid EF-20.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">Ps: F-20 Scratched. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
