IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36746 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 10:33 am Too hard to grade from these washed out photos. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 1:35 pm this is a really bad scan. many of these coins show a typical weak strike. the surfaces are washed out due to the scan and not sharp enough to determine if there is actual rub/wear or soft strike or remaining luster. I marked a couple areas that appear to be rub from light circulation. if you can take actual pics of the coin it would help determine. if you dont own it, that one's your call but we need to grade what we see.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 4:44 pm Yes, close-ups would help. Any luster breaks? Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 9:10 pm Better pictures would be nice. From these pictures the weak LIBERTY and hair are more strike related Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 10/07/2016 2:53 pm Like Panzaldi said. The lower hair curls also appear to show some weak. The ribbon on the reverse shows incomplete detail which suggests the die might have been overpolished. These coins are notorious for serious die clashes so maybe this coin shows the effects of die repair. Report this Post to the Staff
