[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5286289, member: 80952"]I would call it nearly VF. Letters are visible, portrait is nice (I can't say if it was tooled or not), reverse is OK. Too nice to be a straight F, but not a standard VF either. This level of roughness is not a major problem - personal choice. For the strike quality - well, I am not the best person to judge this, as I tend to like oblong coins or ones struck off center, I just feel it adds some individuality. And I'm not bothered at all that usually this decreases the price. It is very good that you want to keep a honest record of your coin grades, as I see most small auction houses tend to overgrade a lot.[/QUOTE]
