Liberty's face makes me swoon. The pics are faithful, except the green artifacts that come from reducing them to 300k. Should be pretty easy to tell the scratches on the plastic from those on the coin ... Grade opinions?   Edited by pristine2

Are you suggesting that all of the light obverse scratches are on the holder?

It's the deepest scratches (shield and thigh) that are on the coin. Most of the lighter ones (including that vertical one through the calf and ankle) are on the plastic.

What is going on with the birds claws? Is that lint or scratches on the plastic or the coin?

It's as if someone ineptly tried to obfuscate imperfections on the coin by chewing up the slab. The pics are good enough to work out most of what is going on. But the grade may astonish you.

The hair is superb, I think it is AU 55. Although I do think the coin might have been dipped once and retoned

If the grade is going to astonish me I will say MS 63 - 64.

If I will be surprised, I'll guess PF-64. I can't get a good read on this one. Obverse strike is great, but the reverse left claw and leg feathers are not - or is it wear? My first impression was that it was high AU.
