pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 8:35 pm Her condition is appropriate — in a literary sense, anyway. At the time, many of Liberty's subjects were working in hazardous factories with no safety controls, and no recourse in case of injury or death. How would you describe her current state?

Starting to show some of LIBERTY on the shield. If she was working in a textile factory, you may want to see if she has all her fingers.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 8:51 pm I'll say VG details (cleaned). Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 10:43 pm I'd go VG details. Might even straight grade, the TPG's are notoriously lenient on Liberty Seated dollars. It's still a very nice coin no matter what and certainly a tougher date in a series full of tough dates.

pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 08/14/2023 2:33 pm I'm amazed how generous you guys were with this one. A Trade dollar (a huge proportion of which are cleaned, apparently) might get a pass for that kind of harsh surface adulteration, but not a seated liberty -- at least I wouldn't think so. One of the very few "detailed" slabbed coins I've ever purchased. Could not have afforded a non-detailed example. Paid $1440 in Feb 2022. https://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-dol...yBids-101116 Report this Post to the Staff
