I recently bought this half dollar raw. I believe it would grade VF25 to VF30. Any thoughts on the grade of this coin?

    I agree with your assessment.
    (It almost looked tooled, at first- the skirt lines looked engraved...)

    I think it falls within the vf25-is area, looks like WB-7.

    I like the look of it. VF25 would be my grade from the photos.

    If only that obverse had a bust of Liberty wearing a cap. Easy $60k coin.

    Nice pick up.

    It looks nice and gradable but should be knocked down to VF25 because of nicks.

    25 seems about right. I like it.

    Very nice eye appeal. Your grade range is accurate IMHO. Congratulations.

    VF25 with surfaces original enough to be a CAC candidate at that grade, with or without the nicks. Nice raw purchase.

    Appears to have original surfaces... vf25/30 looks to be about right.
