Hi All,
I have this coin narrowed down to one of the following 6 coins (I think - I may be way off).

I was wondering if anyone can help me solve this.

Images of coin:

​I think you may be correct. Thank you!
Any value above silver in its rough condition?

Thanks Cas,
what would you grade my coin?

No more than VG personally; I consider myself a lenient grader, but I would be disingenuous if I gave an F.
Cass,
You would give it a VG?

Anyone else agree?

Thanks,
Aaron

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if others' opinions are G or perhaps even lower. Again, I'm quite generous with my grading, perhaps too much so sometimes.
I would grade it G-VG.

Yeah... a G-VG makes me more comfortable than a solid VG.
thanks all!

​Based on the damage, this is a details coin. So if you sent it into a company like PCGS or NGC (not that I recommend it for this coin as you would just lose money) you would get VG details. Some people net grade the coin and lower it to G to account for the damage. I believe ANACS does net grades instead of details grades.
