    Bill,

    Very likely it'll upgrade to a VF 20.

    Nice looking coin.

    It will easily go VF20, and a shot at 25. Maybe PonyExpress8 will chime in. He is very familiar with the series.

    Let me put it this way: I wouldn't pay more than F-15 money for it, no matter what the plastic says.

    Giving this coin a VF-20 would be an example of degrading the VF grade, but it would not surprise me if the coin got into a VF holder. If gets there, it begs the question of what the coin would look like in EF, AU and low end Unc. In the past there was been more than a little over grading in the lower ends of the grade scale.

    Text book Fine 15 I do think though market graded there is a chance and a good one for vf20.

    Update - It graded VF25 at PCGS, which is exactly what I thought it would grade.

    I gave it a VF 20 - you must be dating a grader's sister - you're getting some mighty nice grades as of late.

    Congrats again... nice coin.
