Indeed! I know he looks quite abused, but I just like the streaked/woodgrain effect. Gives it a cool (and different) look. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 08/28/2008 12:41 pm I like the streaking too...it gives it that period feel. Is that tape on the reverse? In terms of grade, photos don't show everything--are all the letters in LIBERTY at least partly visible? If yes, I'd give it an F12, if not--a VG10. Here's a great guide on IHC grading I like to use, put together by Rick Snow. Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 08/28/2008 1:07 pm Great guide, Kurt, thanks! As for the letters.. ERTY are partially visible. That small brown piece looks like an errant flake of tobacco that's been stuck in place for years.. Report this Post to the Staff
