Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 06/02/2007 9:18 pm Picked this up at auction over the weekend. Best example I have ever had. I am having a hard time deciding if the hair on the obverse is slight wear or a soft strike. The cleanness of the cheek makes me think soft strike. Anyway, depending on your grading thoughts I may send it off to a TPG. Thx, Jim Image: DSC00552-1.jpg 86.97 KB Image: DSC00553-1.jpg 89.72 KB Report this Post to the Staff

I would say that you've got an uncirculated specimen. I don't have the expertise to tell what level MS you have, but it looks very, very nice. Congratulations. Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 06/03/2007 11:02 am Looking at the obverse I thought it might be AU, but after checking the reverse I have to go with uncirculated. I'm hoping to find some in this series but am having a hard time with grading the obverse. For some reason I expect to see more detail in the hair. Great looking coin. Report this Post to the Staff
