Pretty simple post.
What do you grade this at?

Thanks!

Edit:
Took another set of pics using daylight/snowlight.

And yes, definitely is the overdate.

    Is that a 7 under there? It sure looks like it to me!! WOW, nice pick-up for sure! I'll say vf-25 on this beauty.... Maybe higher, but the images are lacking a bit....

    I concur- F15, has a nice strong obverse, but with only that much horn showing on reverse, I don't think it would make VF-20, but who knows!

    I guess I grew up with the old "full horn for VF" standard. I would've said F12, personally, though I'll defer to those who're better with the series.

    Sure does look like you've got the magic 7 peeking out from under that 8, there... cool!

    Overdate, F-15, assuming that the dark areas at portions of the borders aren't environmental damage.

    F12 at best... The top image appears to show light horizontal hairlines going across the buffs torso... nice coin!

    It is close to Fine-15, VF-20 sharpness, but downgraded to Fine-12 because of minor scratches.

    F15. Both pieces need more horn to do any better than that.

    F-12 May be lightly cleaned based on the reverse pics. Only an educated guess based on lousy pics.
