Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 12:05 am Although the photos don't show it well, LIBERTY on the obverse is completely full, and the motto on the reverse is full. So, what I'm wondering is - what grade would you place on this coin, and what is it about the coin that prompted you to grade it as such? I've attached pics with a webcam and lamp, as well as a scan of each side. Sorry about the quality of the photos, but it's the best I can do with what I've got.

Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 12:24 am I will give this a try, but keep in mind, this is practice... ;o) I say VF-20 I choose this because all the letters in LIBERTY are evenly plain Tim Report this Post to the Staff
B12 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 02:45 am I'd say F15 because not all the letters in liberty are so sharp and there's a little to much wear to go VF IMO. Edited by B12 09/03/2006 02:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 12:06 am I would agree with F15. A couple of Liberty's letters are slightly weaker than others. Also, top of wreath is well outlined, lower part a little more worn. But, a strong F15! Report this Post to the Staff
scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 02:12 am I would agree liberty is readable but not sharp so, I would give it a Fine 15 Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 9:05 pm Choice Fine. The bottom leaves need to be a bit sharper for the VF grade. Also better pictures might help a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
