the first one appears to have a scratch by the phrygian cap and grease filled reverse lettering.
That is a scratch next to the phrygian cap and the lettering on the reverse is actually there but is weak. I also thought there was grease on the die at the left and also in the word CENTS but the toning makes the letters look like they are missing.the first one appears to have a scratch by the phrygian cap and grease filled reverse lettering.
The NGC piece in hand doesn't look as stark as the image makes it out to be. The toning is a softer golden hue and the mint luster comes through where it's protected by the coins' devices. This coin completes another milestone in my quest of a Liberty Seated type set, I now have an example for the obverse and the reverse for this denomination. Half Dimes and 20 cent pieces done with the dimes, quarters, halves and dollars to go.
