    "Nice and crusty".

    But it looks VF to me, due, in part, to a lack of any mint luster.

    VF25 or 30. The image is a tad small, but there appears to be mucho flatness on the breasts and thigh.

    Not quite EF to me definitely VF 25-30

    A better pic would help greatly. JMHO

    Sharpness grade is in the VF-20 to 25 range. I'd call this "environmentally damaged" because the surfaces seem to be porous. “Original” is not always a good thing.

    What do you think, Mr. Bigglesworth?

    Definitely at least VF in terms of wear. Can't really evaluate it much beyond that with these images.

    These were pretty dense scans when I uploaded them onto photobucket... 2MB files... but I guess photobucket automatically resizes images greater than 1MB. I didn't think I'd loose quite so much image size...I'll try again tonight...Leo

    Thanks for the input...I put it a middle of the road VF (VF30). It's a little less of a coin than I wanted for the spot in my 7070, but other than the toning there really aren't any problems...also...

    ...and NO DIPPY, NO WASHIE here

    VF. Hard to make any comments beyond that because the photos aren't good enough. While original, it is probably darker than what the current "market" considers desirable.
