In hand pics of a coin I posted way back. What are your thoughts? I'm not the best at taking pics but liberty is full and there is some luster. Appreciate any thoughts!   |

Looks like an xf-40 with somewhat original surfaces.

45. I like the fact that this has so few bag marks, scratches and is very free of damage. That is tough to find in an EF grade that usually got banged pretty good.
I myself am not a big fan of dark tone, although yours is natural. Given the choice between lighter tone with more marks and the one you chose, I'd have done the same as you did.

Thanks for all the opinions so far. I would have preferred it was a little less dark, but I cant complain. Some of the straight graded seated $ Ive seen look so badly cleaned and dull ..hate that bleach white look on coins.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
