LordWrathbone Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 7:51 pm I just won an auction where I'm hoping the description of "full liberty" is accurate on the IHC in it. The picture is just unfocused enough to not be able to actually tell. If I had to guess by the picture I would say the seller is stretching the description. What do you think?

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 8:01 pm That's the gamble you take sometimes. Liberty is a,fairly prominentart of the IHC design, so full liberty might just be taken as you can just see all the letters, which occurs starting with Fine grades. So if you get an F or VF, that would be pretty fair. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 8:07 pm Honestly, what would a "Full Liberty" on this common date IHC mean in terms of the value of this lot? Edited by Coinfrog 08/09/2015 8:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
LordWrathbone Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 8:12 pm @ Coinfrog: Covering 3/4 of what I paid on it's own. Or closer to 1/4. In other words, a good deal no matter what, but full liberty would make it sweeter ofc. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 8:32 pm I really don't want to bust your bubble. but by the looks of the other coins in this lot, the IHC may or may not be full LIBERTY. or if it is, it may be a problem coin showing full LIBERTY./ .I hope I'm wrong.

LordWrathbone Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 8:59 pm We can all agree this is a bargain bin lot. But I only have $7 in it, so no way it won't be worth that. (AND the Jeffersons/quarter I'm considering face value ofc) The buffs alone make it worth it... Just hoping the IHC pans out to be better than the blurry blob in the picture(especially due to the full liberty claim). Report this Post to the Staff
