dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 3:52 pm i do not have a lot of experience with this coin. the question concerns the letter "M" stamped in the coin to the right of the bottom star (to the right of Ms. Liberty). is this a normal part of this coin or is it post mint - defacing. also grade opinions are appreciated. in my UNtrained opinion I give it G8. thanks.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 4:01 pm The coin was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil. The M that you are talking about is his Initial. As far as grade, from what I can see it should grade between F-12 and F-15. Edited by echizento 01/16/2009 4:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 4:09 pm From the pics I would say there is enough shield detail for this SLQ to grade VF Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 4:35 pm I agree that the shield details are consistent with VF-20. Yes, the "M" is a normal part of the coin and was put there by the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 6:03 pm I would agree this coin easily makes VF-20, maybe even VF-30. You see so many SLQs on ebay with heavy wear that a well-detailed example like this really stands out. Nice collector coin! Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 8:11 pm I agree, choice VF. Report this Post to the Staff
afernbaugh Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 11:20 pm Yep! It is a high or choice VF. The reverse is weaker than the obverse but this is a nice coin by all means. afernbaugh Report this Post to the Staff
