    Old dealers, like myself, use it to describe a coin they think is better than Fine, but they feel won't quite make Very Fine. Most of the time, a Fine+ coin will be graded Very Fine by most other dealers and sold as such. It's something that was prevelant in the late 1960's and 70's.

    1907 - in school, an F+ would be about a 50 or 60, depending on the curveimage

    In coins, it would be something better than 15 (but make sure the seller is refering to Fine plus and not Fair plus). Basically, it's a way of saying it's a PQ fine, just like a PQ 63 or whatever and possibly, a way to overhype/overgrade the coin.

    F+ is F15, in my book.

    generally f-15, but some eac dudes recognize f-18. i guess they don't confuse it w/ the airplane.

    It depends. On eBay an F+ usually is the same as a VG-8 to the rest of us.
