There is no such thing as a Barber nickel so impossible to grade what was never made, if you mean the Liberty Head nickel photos you posted I would say VF25, maybe
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Can't really tell from the photos - has it been cleaned? The grime pattern looks a little suspicious.
VF-20 Red
Liberty Head, thanks I was thinking of something else when I posted it. LOL
Looks like a "Barber" Nickel to me (at least he designed it)
I was wondering if it hadn't been cleaned. My photo taking is not that good. Using a Samsung phone
The coin looks VF, details-wise. If accurate (and not a white color balance issue), the color looks unnatural.

Copper washed.
The is gray, the color is unnatural. I'll see if I can get some beter pictures.
Hopefully these are better. The coin is a natural color but I thought it may have been cleaned at one time.
Looks like cleaning in the distant past and net grade (cleaned) in the VF range.
That's what I thought. VF and maybe cleaned.
Net VF for cleaning and rim hit at 6:35 on the rev.
I agree with VF....probably crossed a lot of bars in exchange for beers....
Cheers, RickO
Probably did! I looking at VF and that seems to be the consensus.

VF too.
High VF.

Images are not in focus although with full Liberty it could be Fine except if cleaned or buffed or both. My S8+ takes very sharp images. Practice, turn off the flash, download a magnifying app. Peace Roy
