Hello.
I've purchased this coin which has been graded Fine by the seller. Is it correct or (as I think) must it be graded VG?
Thank you

I would tend to agree more with your grading, since it has environmental issues, ie the pitting.

VG in my humble opinion

My personal opinion says VG.

Even after checking my ANA Grading Standards it still seems to fit in the VG or at worst high G region.

Has some fine qualities in hair lines but no separation in leaves on reverse, the rough surfaces and porosity would net grade it about G7VG8, (in my humble opinion) GregW

Large cents in general most generic dealers will qualify this as very fine. but.
EAC grade would more likely be good 5 based on the sheldon scale, and without coin in hand. Ron
