Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6389 Posts	Posted 06/25/2007 08:57 am Hi Dave, Looks like AU58 for detail, with some rub evident above Miss Lib's ear and on her cheek. I don't see any obvious wear on the reverse but there seems to be almost no luster. It does have a bit of cameo contrast. It also looks like this one was scrubbed a bit, unfortunately. I'm seeing enough hairlines to sound my TPG body-bag alarm. Is that how it looks to you? Report this Post to the Staff

I was unsure at the dealer, and am still unsure after taking pics and going over it at 12x. I think I'll get some shots in direct sunlight. There's hairlines, but they're not oriented in any single direction, and despite my poor representative pics the coin is fully Prooflike with some genuine frost contrast on the reverse. You'll note in the reverse fulsize pic that the hairlines orient themselves in two directions, consistent with the two-bulb setup I used to shoot it. Having said all that, the bottom quadrant of the reverse does look polished to me, on the highlights. Report this Post to the Staff
