Interesting.

I'd grade it as F12.

newbiecollector

Thanks for the input. I picked it up at very little cost.

The pics are close to the correct color but not 100%. I am using my new camera and have not got the white balance down right yet.

I am not sure but most of the "trash" on the coin is just that. I might give it a water rinse to see if some of the fuzz goes away.

I agree it's most likely a F12 - F15

Ah - my grading skills are improving then.

Or - they're every bit as bad as mine... I see you're a self deprecating optimist!

These are quite common and apprently were never withdrawn from
circulation. They are frequently encountered in pondage; especially
older poundage. The series suffered extensive wear but high grade
examples are not especially elusive and may be a little overpriced in
Krause (especially uncs).

This example is about typical or slightly better than most.

I'd grade it only a weak VG though.

To get fine most foreign has to have full crown detail.

definitely cool

Id grade it VG based on how much of the base of the crown is still showing on the bottom left and right band around geo Vs head
