Good Afternoon friends,

I have been trying to grade this and feel it is somewhere between an 8 and a 12. Don't just want to split the dif and call it a 10. What do any of you think.

Personally, I'd grade this VG-08.

VG10 sharpness, but I'd bet it down to VG08 due to surface preservation and a couple rim bumps.

Also, can't make out what's going on above the arrow below Liberty feet. Lamination issue? Almost looks like it's visible on the reverse as well running diagonal through the A in AMERICA.

I'd say VG-10.

I'm at VG8. The weakness on the left side of the obverse keeps me from giving a 10.

I don't see a problem calling it VG-10, but I think calling it F-12 is a bit of a stretch. I like the arrows and rays.

I agree with MisterT and think it's a solid VG-10. I don't think there is enough detail overall for an F12 grade.

Nice original looking VG-10.
