wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 7:36 pm I agree with ShadowCreator. But I don't think better pictures will make a difference Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 7:42 pm The reason I said that was because I can't tell if liberty is full or not. Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 06/09/2008 8:05 pm I agree with a solid VG-10, and if all the letters in LIBERTY are visible (hard to tell from the picture) it may well make F-12. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 12:41 am Solid for VG-08, possible for VG-10, probably not F-12 IMO. It does have a nice original look. Some of the coins dcv has posted got some "possible cleaned" comments. This one looks like the cleaners never got around to it. Nice for the grade! Report this Post to the Staff
dcv Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 06/10/2008 05:16 am All of the letters in LIBERTY are visible and clearly readable but the bottom 25% of the E and R are worn. Also, I just noticed that the picture barely shows a scratch that extends from her chin "southwest" (at about 45°) into her neck. You can see it faintly as a dark blurry line if you look at the image full size but it is more prominent in person than it is in the picture. I am in the midst of investing in and setting up a new camera and a whole new lighting system. Hopefully, in the near future you will be seeing better pics from me. As for cleaning? I know it hasn't been cleaned in the last 40 years since my mother had it? For her... "don't clean coins" was right up there with "don't go swimming right after you eat"....but possibly before that. Thank you everyone, I appreciate your opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
