EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 08:04 am I am really fond of this one in my 7099. It is one of the more difficult 39's to find and mine is in great shape. It has very interesting wear on the reverse, maybe due to the strike quality? The obverse has great details in contrast. One rim ding at the 8:30 position. The Liberty has complete separation but shows some wear on the L and the I. I haven't been doing well with my guesses on grades of late. I think this is VF though.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 08:11 am I was fixin' to bid on one of these types last week, but it went out of my range for what I wanted to pay for it. Unusual strike indeed. I like these transition pieces. Looks like your avatar as well! Same style anyway. Edited by oih82w8 01/24/2013 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 12:24 pm Wow - very nice coin. I would grade the obverse as a solid VF30, maybe 35. I love the wear/strike issue on the reverse. I'm not sure about a grade there but it is interesting. Thanks for posting. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 03:26 am I concur with VF a really neat looking original coin. Fantastic representation of a weak strike on the reverse, could easily be struck through a layer of grease on the dies causing the weakness in the letters while letting the detail in the lettering and wreath come through fine. I don't think that it's from any percievable wear differences from obverse to reverse. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
