TreeMonkey Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted 04/12/2012 2:15 pm More rare than Maryland (by just 2 coins!), this specimen sports a mintage of 25,013. This one proved to be more difficult to photograph for some reason (the light had to be just right). There are a couple of unfortunate bag hits that diminish eye appeal.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15419 Posts	Posted 04/12/2012 9:29 pm I'm going with PCGS MS63 on this one ... you correctly made mention of the various bag hits and scuff marks ... all contriving to lower the technical grade. Still ... a gorgeous example of Gertrude Lathrop work ... she also designed the 1938 New Rochelle half ... appears that Ms. Lathrop was a fan of animals .... a beaver on this coin and a calf on the New Rochelle. History records that the New York State Conservation Department provided a live beaver for Ms. Lathrop to keep in her studio as a model for this coin ... not sure if they provided as well the maple branch for food. I say it is a good thing that Ms. Lathrop did not earn the commission for designing the 1925 Vermont half ... not sure how a live Mountain Lion (Catamount) would have fared in her studio. Make note as well of the smallest IMHO LIBERTY ever depicted on a USA coin ... the legally required legend appears as an after-though ... have fun searching for it.

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 04/16/2012 12:54 pm A 63 sounds like a fair grade for it. And yeah, Liberty is really tiny on that coin. I'm glad you had larger than life photos, to help me find it. I wonder if that is some symbolism, being on the eagles back like that? Report this Post to the Staff
