Liberty and the long feather struck up weak on the early versions of these coins - a die issue I believe - it was fixed in 1916.

Dearborn is correct. you are seeing die polishing, Die Deterioration and even some strike weakness here. this is what makes buffs one the more difficult series to assess. looks like LDS I'm not seeing any signs of circulation on the highest points on either side. you never know how a TPG will assess these. some graders are aware of the issues that surround this series and others not so much. i'll go with MS63 taking into consideration everything |

Thanks Panzaldi and Indiangoldeagle I appreciate your comments and the understanding of the difficulty of these coins when trying to get a grade on them.

Without seeing it in hand this one is too close to call but I'm leaning towards MS. What causes the rough appearance of the surfaces?

That is the design of these coins. There are no true flat surfaces

nice coin bruh!
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."

typically I don't agree with slabbing coins however in this case the difference between an AU and MS coin is pretty big and the difference even one point in MS state is large. to protect this coin I would consider having it graded. nice coin  |
