Hello all, This was a recent purchase. Does it look authentic and what grade would you give it. The color is much darker than in the pictures.   |

It does look like the C-1 variety but the L in Liberty just doesn't look right to me..... anyone else?

Looks good and I'd also be at VF-30. It's impossible to tell from these photos, as you mention the coin is much darker in hand, but I don't see any tell-tale signs of cleaning.
Although, using only the photo you've provided I'd say it has been dipped.
One of those times you almost have to have the coin in hand.

Just looking at an old post ....Half cents are one of my faves ..... does anyone else see a problem with the "L" in Liberty? I do. Any thoughts on it or is there a logical explanation?

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
