Picked up this 1820 B-4 recently. Pretty common variety, but one that I didn't have.

Nice coin.
Enjoyed numismatic conversations with Eric P. Newman, Dave Akers, Jules Reiver, David Davis, Russ Logan, John McCloskey, Kirk Gorman, W. David Perkins...

vg10 i'd round it off as
an honest wholesome piece for its grade level
...And a very nice one at that!
<< <i>Nice coin. Vg 10 >>
Any no problem 1820 with small 0 is about 10 times as scarce as the Large/Medium 0 variety yet sells for no premium. Pretty cool…
NGC graded the coin VG8.
I thought it looked like a solid 10, possibly 12, and I really liked the surfaces so I was happy to give 8 money for it. It seems like most agreed and thought that it looked like a VG-11.
I appreciate all the responses...it's fun to see a bust quarter thread get some traction...these guys are hard to locate (even in the lower grades like this)!

<< <i>Baley - I like all three, but I especially like the B-1! Very nice. >>
Wai.. wha? the raw one?!?
(Actually, the others are raw now too)
Here's my filler B-5 until an nice VG comes along.. my favorite grade for these coins
[just trying to keep a bust quarter thread alive, good BQ threads are as rare as some of the coins

Normally I don't like to post photos in someone else's thread unless invited to do so but Baley makes a good point. Any bust quarter thread is worth a bump to keep it going!
Here's my 1820 B-4, graded F-15 CAC, for comparison to the OP coin (which looks undergraded to me based on that photo but perhaps there's something else going on that isn't obvious):
