I would say VF20... I am not very good at low grades though....Cheers, RickO

Think I will toss some lower grades in there to give some folks some perspective of how these are graded.

It should be F-15, since it doesn't have the band under the LIBERTY.
But, seeing your other F-15, I would guess VF-25

Here's some other VF's....wish I could find my other pictures. They must be hidden in my old computer or I'm known to mislabel a picture so I can't find it easily.

Just curious!

I thought PCGS split the VF grades based on the wing feathers, hard to tell from the obverse pics above.

Thought I was a little high especially with all the other guesses. But the clean fields and eye appeal carried it.
