*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***This coin has 1 problem that kept it from grading straight. Can you identify it? Side note: I received a lot of positive feedback from fellow members on my first post in this possibly recurring series of threads. So I thought I would test a second. Let me know if you guys enjoy these or if it's a bad idea.   Edited by MikeF

I would say that the fields have been mechanically smoothed in a couple of places.

Well, I'm in the camp of enjoying these exercises, despite the fact that I'm not (yet) very good. My wild guess is that LIBERTY on the shield has been tooled to make the letters sharper.

Looks like a repair or something on the reverse rim at about the 1:30 position.

This is one of my favorite threads on CCF, I'm glad you made another one.
Cleaned and repaired. I see an odd-looking part of the rim on the reverse, and several areas of the fields that look like they have been repaired.

Since you said it has 1 problem that prevented it from straight grading then I'll stop looking for other not so obvious issues and say details-cleaned and retoned. It could be AT but that I can't tell without seeing it in person.

Not very original, but cleaned and re-toned is the best I can do.
