Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 3:56 pm Picked this up for $17....a nice die break on the obverse. Typical San Francisco strike...,strong obv weak reverse....got back a 21S from NGC this week I thought a f15 came back a vf25....thinking this could come back a VF as well. Thoughts?

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 4:28 pm Looks more like a F-15 to me. Can't really see the obverse very well, and I'm also not sure about the die break either. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 5:03 pm I'm pretty sure it's a die break....the 26s along with all twenties San Francisco strikes used weak and worn out dies hence inconsistencies in obv and rev strikes,,,,,i.e., weak horn weak date, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/25/2016 8:53 pm VG10 in my opinion, I think the hair detail and horn are too weak to pull a Fine grade, weak strike notwithstanding.
