KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/10/2008 02:01 am I like the toning, but yes--visibility of LIBERTY is critical here. However, I think the rim damage pretty much restricts this one to a G4. It could be VG8+ w/o that damage. It might be different if this coin were from the 70's, but this is a common date.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/10/2008 08:43 am I also say G-4, the rim damage hurts it from going any higher. Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 12/10/2008 10:51 am I don't see any LIBERTY, but the denticles are relatively strong. G-6 details, with rim damage. (If any 3 letters of LIBERTY are visible in hand, then VG-8 details.) Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 12/10/2008 5:09 pm hehe...it is a dark coin. For each coin, I've been taking pictures at several consecutive shutter speeds, then picking the best ones on the computer screen. I didn't get enough exposure on this one, and was too tired to take more pics of it. You should see the other pics of this coin. These are the brightest. :) Report this Post to the Staff
