Picked this up for $38 on ebay this week. Though it's not so evident in the obverse pic, you can see the LI and TY of LIBERTY. I'm thinking VG-8. Your thoughts?

, a few of those obverse dings are a bit distracting.

blue tint of light does not permit proper assessment of the surfaces. VG10 grade wise. as for originality, really cant tell.

Something is really off with my camera lately. These were taken on my deck in full sunshine. And the coin was sitting on a snow white envelope, yet it looks blue. I'm going to have to take an hour or two, and play around with the settings until I get better pictures.

I went to ebay and saw the sellers pics, I would say F Details. There is damage on the rim, head, torso and shield.

I think VG-10 sounds right. Straight.
