If one ignores the "LIBERTY" the coin seems to be in the F12/15 range. However, no Barber collector is going to ignore the "LIBERTY". Better pic please.
Based on the overall detail = F15. If LIBERTY were complete, many sellers would give it a VF20 grade, but you can tell by the remaining wing detail on the reverse that it is probably not a VF coin.
The picture is too fuzzy to see the "LIBERTY." By the surfaces, the coin looks like F-VF, but if the "LIBERTY" is stronger than it appears, the coin could be a lock for VF.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I'll join the 'need to see a better picture' crowd before hazarding a grade. Looks to me like the overall feel for the coin fits your new collecting goal for this series, Stan. If you're happy with it, that's what counts!

Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

This coin is a PCGS VF25 - I'll see if I can get better pics...

I'd need a clearer shot of Liberty and motto to see the VF-25 it is housed in.
Nice coin though.
