jsky Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 11/24/2014 3:53 pm Also, does the dull "1863", "UNITED", and top left side of the wreath count as damage? How does it affect the overall grade? Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 11/24/2014 7:24 pm grease filled errors typically decrease the value because people want to see details on their coins. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/25/2014 2:25 pm Imo the lower headband and LIBERTY are simply way too defined for even F-15--there would be more wear overall. Rick Snow defines a VF as having a clearly defined lower headband--and a fully legible Liberty. Since the hair curl/ribbon junction is just barely distinct, I'll put it at ~VF35--details or not, your call. Edited by DVCollector 11/25/2014 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/25/2014 2:51 pm I'm not buying an even, partial Grease Fill on directly opposing sides of the coin - seems much closer to a die alignment issue. Either way, allowance has to be made for "wear" which isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 11/25/2014 3:48 pm Interesting wear / strike. I weigh in at VF 20 net. Report this Post to the Staff
yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 11/25/2014 6:54 pm I think DVCollectir is right on. I would say either VF 30 or 35 Report this Post to the Staff
