If you would take a stab at the grade on this Half Dollar.
Thanks,
Jim

    It is a Seated Half. Too dark on my computer monitor but I used my smart phone too lighten. I grade it VF-30 based on slight weakness to Liberty on Obverse shield but has definition in the fingers on pole and reverse gives it a small bump. james

    VF20. Too much wear on the obverse to justify a higher grade even though the reverse is better than 20. I will not be surprised if the slab grade is higher than VF20.

    My first reaction was 25 as well, though the reverse looks a little better. I think the heavy Circ Cam™ toning gives the illusion of there being more detail.

    Thank you for some mighty nice grades. Bought this coin for the color, just thought it looked authentically worn as one might expect for it's age and I thought grade was fair, but maybe a 30. Regardless, it is a gorgeous cirq cam coin, IMO. 25's have it.

    I’m in the VF 25 camp

  • skier07skier07 Posts: 4,342 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think it’s accurately graded. It’s a little too dark for me.

  • Davidk7Davidk7 Posts: 528 ✭✭✭✭

    I agree with the 25's. Cannot grade it higher than that.

    I'm also with the VF25 camp.

    I had it as a shot 30 before I read down ... seeing the result, I think 25 feels good

    I'd give a 30.
