Why grade it? It is not worth the time or expense being a lower value coin. It is a nice looking coin on its own that would look nice in a type set album.
Today they might call it “Fine” giver lower standards, but it still is not worth the grading and shipping charges to have it graded.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

How come the VG10 coin has near full shield lines and no other coin with the same detail in the lines shows up until VF30?
Probably striking issues. The lines were high points, and thus we're often not struck well. Same with shield nickels.

I'm seeing VG+/F... can't really see "WE"... I'm also seeing a small patch of green verdigris on the left side of the shield. Not a candidate for submission...

VG10. Not worth the cost of grading.

With “WE” obliterated you are looking at a VG coin. Nice color and original surfaces. The perfect album coin.
Nice type set coin but not worth getting graded. VG08 - maybe a 10

Looks like a nice VG10 / F12 coin with no rim issues, lovely color and surfaces, and just plain, honest wear. Quite attractive for that grade range.
As many have said, probably not worth grading from a monetary standpoint, but certainly a "worthy" coin.

I actually like the coin, but with the lack of WE it would not be desireable as a 7070 candidate. I feel VG-F would be its range.

Probably a F 15 just because I once owned a coin in that grade and yours has similar wear.
f12 nice type coin for a modest collector

Thank you everyone for your insightful input!
You're welcome. It's a nice-looking coin regardless of the grade.

You have to grade the whole coin.
