IowaHawkeye Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 5:46 pm Trying to get better at grading. I think I tend to be too conservative... What do you folks think? Also, I assume that is a die crack to the left of the date and left of the "E" in liberty? Report this Post to the Staff

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 6:16 pm Interesting! This die has a complete crack from north to south with a branch crack to the east. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 9:39 pm F15 I suspect part of that die eventually broke off. That's getting pretty bad. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 10:01 pm I think it would qualify as VF-20. Nice, original key date! Report this Post to the Staff
