Numismatic greetings. What do you think of this coin? And what do you call the excess of metal in the word liberty?
Between the letters B and E. Thank you.

More light on the right obverse field would help for grading.

Yes on the BIE. Possibility of a die crack in Abe's scalp--can't quite tell for sure. This piece will likely run in the AU58-MS62 range--given the posted images.

Nice BIE! For the grade, I am thinking AU to low MS.

Nice BIE, I'll give it a 62. There is a small rub on the obverse cheek.

all the photos look different so its difficult to tell which one is what the coin looks like in hand.

appears to have some rub on the cheek and jaw and the hit on the shoulder is going to keep it under 65 along with the weaker strike.

low to mid MS would be my guess on it. MS62 maybe 63
