The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 2:16 pm For me, it's the detail in the hair above the ear which pushes it (just barely) into VF20. I agree there are some issues with LIBERTY, but the overall effect is just barely VF20. Report this Post to the Staff
Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 9:38 pm I agree with hesgut. One of the reasons I became interested in the LHN series is that the grading seemed like it would be more objective, particularly since the letters in liberty are relatively large and subject to wear. The "I" is week in this photo. I'd want to have a VF to have a stronger "I". I see the point about the hair over the ear, and that does look more in the VF range, but I think with this seres the liberty does need to be stronger to fully be VF. Report this Post to the Staff

Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 10:07 pm Raymo: I see your point regrading the eyes, lips and hair, much better than the photograde f12. Maybe a better photo is needed of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 07:37 am Unfortunately, this the best pic I was able to get with my cell phone. It is a pretty good representation of what the coin looks like in hand. The "I" isn't very strong, but the hair lines are very strong. I appreciate all the feedback and getting the opinion of people who are more experienced at this then I am. Report this Post to the Staff
