mklpatrick Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 08/07/2009 08:55 am Exactly...I don't see any diamonds at all. I think this one sold for somewhere in the neighborhood of $160 when it's probably worth 1/3 of that amount. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 08/07/2009 10:29 am I call this one VF. Not enough diamond detail and there is a little weakness on the LIberty ribbon. For EF, I think the Liberty ribbon needs to be sharp and you should see some diamonds. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 08/09/2009 5:36 pm I think it would make EF-40 for detail, except for the flatness of the obverse ribbon. You should be able to see parts of some diamonds, at least, for EF. So, I'll say VF-35 detail. The greenish, glossy surfaces suggest cleaning and/or Photoshop "improvement". There is a significant dent in the oak leaf to the left of O in ONE. Overall, a problem coin that I expect the buyer will eventually regret having purchased. Does anyone have any opinions about Great Southern Coins as a dealer? I see their offerings on ebay but the coins often have odd color or otherwise look unnatural. I've never purchased, so maybe my impression is unfair. Report this Post to the Staff
RFB Pillar of the Community United States 532 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 9:15 pm That is downright criminal to call that AU. Unless AU= A long way from Mint The pictures are clear so no one in the market for AU coins should fall for this but the auction even hinting at it being AU is a big red flag to stay away from this dealer.
