The uneven wear throws me. What would it be graded in today's world? It is in an old green holder btw. I will post the grade tomorrow. Opinions are appreciated also! Update: It's graded G4

Good-6
The strike is weak which creates the appearance of uneven wear. I am thinking VG10

VG8

I think it would grade VG8.

VG08.
I agree with those above.
No where near strong enough for a FN12 yet so much better than GD04.
(Although I wouldn't be shocked if it was a VG10.)

My grade would be G6.
PCGS grade is probably VG8
In any event, that's a very nice coin.

What's going on between the 9 and 5 and up to the bust (curiosity here)?
It's hard to tell from those pics but between the 9 and 5, it looks like a die crack and higher up it looks like scratches.

I still like 👍
VG10
It's a die crack . It's a O-121a, Y over star variety. Less than 20 known according to what I have read. Thanks for the input and guesses. It's graded G4.

Nice O-121a - a tough variety. Looks like Liberty has whiskers because of the die clash. I expect it's graded so low because of the weakness on the stars 11-13. Maybe also a planchet flaw at the top of the die break. Very cool coin!

G4 is the correct grade. Something a variety collector can love ... but not me.
The devices and rims seem too well defined for G4. There looks to be either adjustments marks or scratches. While adjustments should not hurt the grade at this level, scratches would. So if the TPG graders see them as scratches, it may have resulted in a net grade.

I was thinking net g4. Maybe just the pics, but surfaces seem off a little, esp reverse. I have a very comp coin in same holder gen and G4. I think less details but nicer in general. Sorry no pic handy at the moment
