Those are microscopic photos! All I can see is a well worn half. G4 is in the ballpark from what I can se.

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Good details cleaned.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This is unfortunately not a nice coin. G-4 Details, Cleaned and Scratched. My advice is to always avoid details coins and only purchase wholesome, problem-free examples, even if that means saving up for a while.

Agree - unfortunately actually looks like a kid took sandpaper to it.

It's a bummer that it's a details coin.

I love the Seated Liberty series.
You have history in your hands, a160 year old Civil War era coin.
Yes, she's just a type coin in this condition, but enjoy your first - they're addictive!

With the larger photos I can see the coin is AG03 details, harshly cleaned.
