PCGS Designation: 9873

Certificate: 33652705

Grade: VF30

Obverse Die: Normal Die

Reverse Die: Normal Die

Stars: 13/27

Notes:  This coin is our first grade VF 30 and we are learning that there is a fine line between a grade VF 25 and VF 30.  This can lead to a lot of subjectivity on the part of the graders and confusion on the part of collectors.  The wear on this coin looks about right to us, but we might have gone one grade lower without argument.

There is no sign of doubling or die cracks, but wear and dirt will obscure a lot.  The reverse stars are more  visible in the photographs than on the coin when viewed with a scope.
