Moe: Yours looks better than the listed one imo with a full mm, and I would think it's borderline Fr-2/AG-3. Very nice circ!

I think mine does show a bit better than the posted one. Which calls the ebay auction more into question as far as price goes.

I do think mine's a pretty solid FR-2, though. I think it would be a stretch to get it to the AG-3. (I would take it, of course!)

However, in any case, I would not have bought it if I couldn't tell definitively that it was a 1916 D.

Does the seller sell a lot of coins? If you don't know much about them, it would be easy to put up an ad with bad photos of the key coin.

Yeah, but the problem is that a lot of knowlegable but deceitful people take advantage of this exact perspective; pretending to know nothing about coins and posting a lousy photo of a supposed "valuable" coin that hides the problem in order to pawn off a fake or damaged coin.

Isn't FR-2 supposed to mean that huge parts of the design are missing and PO-1 almost nothing? From what I'm seeing a lot of the TPG FR-2's are just lower end AG's, it's pretty confusing sometimes.
