The older I get the more I’m interested in pleasantly worn type coins. I also try to support a LCS whenever possible. Researching online many F15 examples, this one seems decent — there are no doubt variations in interpretations of the grade (and water is wet, too!). I like it. And it’s a pretty small spread in ‘sold’ prices at this general level. Thanks for taking a look. ⭐️☮️

Nice original-looking 20c piece. Congratulations!

Great look

In honor of the now defunct 'know-it'all' thread:
"Whether water is wet depends on how you define the word "wet":
Wetness is a description of experience
Some say that water isn't wet, but rather wetness is a description of how we experience water when it comes into contact with us. For example, we learn that water is associated with a sensation of wetness."
Edited to add:
Also, your twenty cent is about as close to perfection as I've seen for the grade.
Super nice!

thanks @braddick … I wasn’t familiar with the know-it-all thread 😆
Yes! An attractive CCCC (circulated cameo carson city). Great coin.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Well done
Perfect CircCam look (which I love on a lot of coins, this one included) and at a grade that makes sense. Looks closer to what I would consider a 20, but this is not my series, at all. Congrats on a cool coin.

Nice faces up like a perfect VF just missing a little bit too much of the shield

Nice looking piece.
I see a lot of 20c CCs with dark spots, yours has very nice eye appeal, and graded on the conservative end, nice pickup
I love the look of that coin. 20 cent pieces had different wear patterns than other liberty seated coins. Almost no detail on the shield, but nearly 3/4 of the feather detail remaining on the eagle. What a neat example, congrats!

A choice coin with nice 2-tone circ cameo look!
About as original as they come. Beautiful!

Very nice CircCam™ double dime. It is anecdotal but I have remember thinking the CC issue in low grades looks great compared to S-mint examples, which tended to look a lot more abused / worn.

I love that look on old circ silver. Perfect!
Looks like a good cac candidate.
I like the kind of coins that would tell a heck of a story if they could talk. Where they've been and in whose hand.
You like it. You really really like it. 😆
That coin has a great look!

Your coin has great eye appeal, congrats. Just going by Photograde it looks like the rev is spot on graded but the obv may be a bit overgraded. Possibly due to the A+ eye appeal? Regardless, sweet addition.
Awesome coin!
Nice coin. Congrats on the new addition.
I love how the surfaces are so original! My personal preference for 20-cent pieces is to always have a legible LIBERTY on the shield.
