That hole in the Dansco album has been bothering me for years. Any comments on this coin's grade would be welcomed, the seller graded it as VF/XF. As always, my photos taken with my USB Microscope.

Based on the pictures I'm thinking there's more hair and feather detail than an XF is allowed. Congrats on completing your set. (: That's a milestone worth celebrating, especially after 21 years.

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 9:44 pm @wvparadox - Thanks and whew! The first images made the date look far too thin. For a moment I thought that it could have been a counterfeit, dreading to have to say, "I'm sorry but you haven't completed your set yet." Thank goodness that isn't the apparent case. :-) However, these additional pictures have confirmed that this coin has been cleaned. There are lots of buff marks, but, given the outlines, the strike looks like it was originally nice and strong. We're probably looking at a grade of "XF details" due to the cleaning, though.
