Thanks T-Bop. BTW - what looks like a rim nick on the obverse 9 o'clock is not on the coin.

C'mon, guys. Look at that chatter above IGWT and that mark stretching from between "I and B" to the eyebrow, for starters. We need much larger pics.

My camera techniques aren't the best but here are some I just took. No chatter that I can see. I had to adjust the lighting to show some of the surfaces. I truly believe the coin is better than my pictures show.

uh-oh. while I was taking those photos I noticed a small nick - very small - on the obverse rim between the L and I which I didn't think was there. Well I was hoping for an MS 67 grade but probably not with that nick.

These pics bear little similarity to the original images. The clear obverse flaws are washed out.

A few tiny nicks and scratches on Lib's cheek and in the fields, nice luster.
MS-63 or 4, FSB.

They are of the same coin. The initial 2 were the auction photos. The rest were taken by me.

Repeat, the obverse image bears no relation to the original pic, except to highlight cheek scratches not seen on the former.

No grade.

Marks about IGWT and Initials look to be finger feeder damage, not post strike. Tough to tell how significant some of the marks are on the reverse fields, same with the one on the obverse CF pointed out.

I'm at MS-65. If their lenient, MS66. I think it's just shy of a true FSB, but the TPG may pass it.
