Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 6:08 pm This was graded a VF at the coin store. I think a F is more fitting. What do you think? Not sure what's going on with the rim on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 7:46 pm 15, maybe 20 Details to me. As small as these are, I tend to offer a bit of leeway. LIBERTY is weaker, but the head is stronger than the Dime I called "maybe" VF25 in epikur's thread. Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 9:20 pm I'm on board with the VG10, possibly F12 but there is so much going on with the injuries to the reverse. And the cleaning is going to set you back to details? As a buyer I would have wanted to be in that coin for spot or a small premium over spot. Just my thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 9:25 pm Six evenly-spaced notches on the reverse rim; past jewelry mount? Report this Post to the Staff
chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 10:20 pm Details wise, I would grade it a solid VF but as mentioned earlier it looks like it was removed from a jewelers mount and polished. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 10:59 pm Might just make VF-20 details. Cuts on the reverse do seem to be from a jewelry mount. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 08:21 am A lot of responses since I last checked. One question though. What gives it away as cleaned? I looked at it pretty good before buying, and I just didn't see the normal "cleaned" characteristics. In other words, it doesn't look dipped or whizzed or even soaked in acetone or ?. So, just for the sake of knowing before buying next time, what tells you it's cleaned? Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 1:15 pm Hmmm....struck without a collar? I don't see the obvious cleaning on this one either. What is with the extras behind the stars? Report this Post to the Staff

jakeW Pillar of the Community United States 689 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 8:36 pm I think VF20 details would fit. Looks to have an old cleaning and some dummy notched the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
