paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 11:32 pm Do not own this coin -- looked cleaned and unnatural. But then I saw the die state. This thing is wrecked. Cracks, Cuds, chips, not one but two field breaks on the reverse, major clash on the obverse. Seller states XF - I think that's really more like VF+ Details -- but wanted to get CCF's thoughts, as well as just highlight this coin's issues; I've seen many LSD's but never one from dies this severely worn.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 09:19 am Yeah, those dies were a mess. I'll bet they came out of the press in pieces. It would be nice to find a better example as this one has been abused as noted. I think it may be technically EF details based on a soft strike caused by the field displacements but I would still be tempted to call it VF details myself. Also, toss clashed into the mix of descriptors. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 11:08 pm I thought the field displacement on one of my 1921-D Morgans was bad but this is far worse. I guess the same New Orleans coiners who were butchering Morgan dollar strikes weren't concerned about dimes much either :P Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 09:30 am lots of Cud and cracks which makes it super cool. Can you get it for a reasonably inexpensive price? Report this Post to the Staff
