    I would be in the 12-15 range- I think we have alittle too much even wear on both sides for a 20

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Always difficult to grade from a picture. I think Fine details but rather dark and a few digs and scratches that should take down to a VG10. They might "Genuine" but it is an 1890H. IMO.

    In hand the half is not quite as dark. I took those pics last night just with the ambient light. Here is a morning windowsill picture. image

    BTW, nice coin. Don't see them that often that nice. Scarce coin.

    Seems we were spot on with the VF20 grade. That is a very desirable coin in that grade.

    Congratulations, but DO NOT ask the Brits to grade this coin...

    How long did it take to get graded?

    By Canadian grading standards the coin is F12 maybe F15. But I have noticed for circulated coins the US TPGs aren't as conservative as those in Canada.
