Hi All,
Thanks for the input on this coin. The coin belongs to the collection of my late Father-in-law. He collected coins from the 50s to about 1996 so this coin was bought quite a while ago.
He paid $30 for it.
Westcoin, you have a good eye for color. The white balance on the camera was a little off, but not much. This forum limits the file size so posting a larger image is difficult.
I have taken it out of the flip and made some new pics. Hope the resolution is better, there are two taken with flash because they give better detail and one with the background white to give a better idea of color.
CoinKelly, I am aware that UNC is MS, I meant to say AU or MS. I had originally given it an
AU-55
The coin appears to be MS but with considerable scratches and bag marks. There is no more apparent wear on the "WE" than on the other letters in the motto.
There is a peculiar scratch on the shield. The scratch runs across the middle of the shield but is only in the low areas between the vertical lines. Could this be a die mark?
Thanks all for your help, I'm still learning, the collection has about 2000 coins from just about everywhere. Up till now I've been concentrating on the
US coins. There is a lot to learn !
Thanks again to all.

With Upstate. Looking at the rusty staples and the photo of the coin in the old 2X2 this coin needs to be freed with a better picture after being in prison.
Oops - yes I did mean reverse. Thanks for the catch, Conder101.
