I generally do not collect coins below EF but I have come to own a very very choice VF's that I have come to love. As a grade, one would expect the coin the have really done it's time in commerce yet some examples exist with choice surfaces and color which make you forget the grade all together.

Post your super VF's

Superstars indeed! All are very nice. Really like the look of your barber.

VF in circ gold can be very attractive...Cheers, RickO

I love VF-EF coins since they spent time in commerce and still have a good level of detail ... and are generally far more affordable for most collectors.

Great looking coins, Brian! Were all 1876-S $5s struck with Liberty having a pierced ear? A quick look at CoinFacts shows them all with it. Very interesting.

I'll take 35's that look like this all day long...

I love Vf coins.

I actually prefer them in some series.

I prefer a nice 30-35 Morgan over the higher grades from an aesthetic standpoint.

The one in my VF-XF type set is too high in grade. I just haven't found the right replacement.

Yes, all 1876-S $5's (4000 minted) were struck from the same pair of dies and all have the pierced ear.

i don't own this one any more, but it is a super vf:

Nice grouping, Brian. Love the colors, especially on the half. That's a nice 44-C there, too, steveben... great toning. I think nice VFs with original surfaces are a good deal in the Seated and Barber series (lots of collectors for the mid-grade coins; they hold their values very well) as well as the SF gold coins I collect. Much better than processed XFs, anyway!

Great gold mvs

This was done specifically for Ms. Liberty's 100th birthday in that she was able to get her ears pierced.

They are an exception to the rule. Gorgeous for the giving grade.
