Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 11:33 pm This is another Seated Liberty coin that I'm not real sure about. I want to call it fine, but I'm hesitant because of the weakness of the E in LIBERTY. What do y'all think? Fine, or should I inventory it as Very Good? Thanks for looking, and for your opinion.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 12:07 am I would attribute the weak E to a bit of strike weakness and I have to go with F15 as well but it could push VF20 in hand, looks nice and original Edited by biokemist6 02/05/2009 12:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 02:11 am Y'all really think so? I was of the understanding that LIBERTY had to be pretty strong to go that high on the grade. Guess my ignorance (coin grsding) is showing through again. Ralph Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 08:13 am Wow, You folks need to get some sleep at night! Ralph for the fine grade "Liberty" must be readable. An XF grade would require a strong Liberty. And VF falls in between. This one looks all original and is a solid F15 with a shot at VF20. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 08:51 am I agree this coin should just make VF-20. Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 5:00 pm I'll contribute another vote for F-15. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 7:13 pm I would have to guess F-15. (Still a great coin and exactly what most of my Seated Liberty Half's look like!) Report this Post to the Staff
