numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 12016 Posts	Posted Today 6H 25M ago Thank you for your kind comments y'all. 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."

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3749 Posts	Posted Today 3H 33M ago Late to the party because I've been busy with other things. What a stunning coin! I've seen a lot of 1916 LWH over the years, and I can't recall seeing one that well struck at that high a grade. I tend to be conservative on grading, but my first reaction here was MS-67. After I saw the PCGS grade, I looked again, and I'm still at MS-67. Yikes, what a coin. EDIT: Liberty's right heel would clash near the lone raised top inner left wing feather (our visual right), in the space just below the "R" in AMERICA. That feather may be part of the curl at the heel, but the gouge from the "R" in TRUST looks a die polishing gouge. Edited by fortcollins Today 3H 28M ago Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3352 Posts	Posted Today 2H 35M ago Regarding the anomalies noted on your example and shown in your detailed photo above, and comparing to the image of the toned 67+ example, my guess is that your coin exhibits remnants of a die clash in a later die state. The raised areas line up well with clashing from the reverse wing edge. I captured a detail from the image you posted above for comparison.
