  Looks like a VF, 25 perhaps to me.

  Digital SLR camera.
  
  Not a point-and-shoot camera.
  
  SLR = Single Lens Reflex

  Looks like a nice original F-12 obv./12-15 rev. by strict Photograde standards, but by today's looser standards, many would probably call it a VF-20. It has a nice un-messed with "look" for the grade.
  Very nice photos.
  The A710 IS is not a DSLR but is a nice "prosumer", point & shoot camera.

  The coin has been heavily wiped at some
  
  time in the past. It may or may not grade at PCGS.
  
  On purely technical grounds, I would say F-15

  A completely original, unmolested, uncleaned VF-20.
  
  Nice coin!

  looks like a F-15 to me. Looks like it was rubbed at some point to remove really dark toning from the surface. Nice coin regardless.

  I am more in the Fine 15 camp on this. The surfaces really don't strike me as being the product of a cleaning...
  
  edited to add... very good photos.

  I'm with TomB , Tom K., and Brandon on this.
  
  At first I thought it could go VF 25 and after
  looking at it a few more seconds, I'd have to
  say its a VF 20.
  
  Its a nice original looking coin. What ever hairlines
  you see look like circulation marks. IMHO.
  
  Jim & Bear, both of you are also correct, a few years
  ago, this would have been called a F 15 - F 18.
