Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 4:01 pm Looks like VF details but the coin suffers from widespread light corrosion. It seems to have been stabilized, fortunately. Strike looks unusual, with weakness at upper obverse and lower reverse. The corrosion has further reduced the detail in these areas. This looks like the "small 6, no stems" variety which I think is one of the common types. In spite of the problems it should do as a type coin until you are ready to upgrade.

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 6:50 pm I would have a hard time calling this coin VF for details. Yes on the obv. the hair and bust may put it at that level but LIBERTY being corroded off could not convince me that overall the obv. is VF. On the rev. how can you say VF details when some of the details are worn away and cannot be graded. This is one coin where I would not put a grade on. KK Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/01/2012 5:47 pm Agree with VF Details. Looks to be some tooling near the date. The pit is not too distracting. Like jaobler stated, this is a good type coin until a better example can be acquired. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 09:47 am This is another coin I got from a bulk lot I bought to resell. I didn't have one in my 7070 so I kept it. The detail level is good enough for my set, but the corrosion will keep it from being a permanent addition. Report this Post to the Staff
