Fine: F-12 or F All letters of LIBERTY will be at least partly visible.
The lower edge of the headband is indistinct.
Minimum: All letters of LIBERTY must be partly visible, though
they need not be entirely legible.
Maximum: All letters of LIBERTY clearly readable. The base of the
headband is not complete.
NOTES:
The strike of the coin is independent of the grade, however a weakly
struck coin without the full LIBERTY should be downgraded to a
VG-8.
The grade range for FINE is very narrow, therefore F-15 is used only
on very choice pieces which can not be called a higher grade.
The grade number may or may not be used.
{The dividing criteria between Fine and VF is the lower edge of the
headband - if it's there (and all letters are visible) it's a VF, if not,
it's Fine. Cleaned and problem coins should be discounted or net
graded downward.}
