I agree with John Agre on this. Seeing the pictures and getting a number of gradings from different individuals even if averaged out, results in an overall improvement of grading for most concerned.
To pinpoint, the crux is that regardless of what we collectively or Alan come up with, it is moot when somebody like Mike Hodder (Sorry, to pick on you) grades a coin for an auction that most of us agree is XF-40 and he grades if VF-25. Once plated in the catalog guess what most people are going to use for reference.
So, send the pictures and let us start learning more about the die varieties of the Virginia Halfpence. At the least, we are more knowledgeable.
