    Looks like a VF, 25 perhaps to me.

    Digital SLR camera.

    Not a point-and-shoot camera.

    SLR = Single Lens Reflex

    It's a VF20/25 that has not been cleaned.

    Looks like a nice original F-12 obv./12-15 rev. by strict Photograde standards, but by today's looser standards, many would probably call it a VF-20. It has a nice un-messed with "look" for the grade. image
    Very nice photos.
    The A710 IS is not a DSLR but is a nice "prosumer", point & shoot camera.

    The coin has been heavily wiped at some

    time in the past. It may or may not grade at PCGS.

    On purely technical grounds, I would say F-15

    A completely original, unmolested, uncleaned VF-20.

    Nice coin!

    looks like a F-15 to me. Looks like it was rubbed at some point to remove really dark toning from the surface. Nice coin regardless.

    I am more in the Fine 15 camp on this. The surfaces really don't strike me as being the product of a cleaning...

    edited to add... very good photos.

    I'm with TomB , Tom K., and Brandon on this.

    At first I thought it could go VF 25 and after
    looking at it a few more seconds, I'd have to
    say its a VF 20.

    Its a nice original looking coin. What ever hairlines
    you see look like circulation marks. IMHO.

    Jim & Bear, both of you are also correct, a few years
    ago, this would have been called a F 15 - F 18.
