IMO it was a lock F-15 as it is much closer to a VF than a VG.&nbsp; I also wrote that I should price it as a VF and that it might come back straight graded either F or VF from PCGS.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy with VF as that&#039;s the way grading has evolved; however, IMO VF-35 is at the other end: &quot;What the heck is going on PCGS.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>ToughCoins continued: &quot;Without mentioning names, I&#039;m fairly certain it would fetch VF bid from several major coin wholesalers that you should know.&nbsp; The coin exhibits more than enough attributes to grade it choice VF after offsetting the weakly struck scroll in the shield.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I already agreed to this.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>moneycostingmemoney, posted: &quot;Please send my comment to the person that sent you.&nbsp; Let the person who’s opinion this is know that I reread this about 4 times and still don’t know what they mean by it.
