HOLY S**T.
<- Super jealous right now.
I have to ask, if you dont mind... How much? Cause that's the quality I'm looking for, for my type set and I'm trying to figure out a realistic price.

Well, I think I made quite a find on her. Paid a bit over $300 raw, but I'm thinking she would go for much more than that. I've bounced her against the PCGS MS-67 and she seems to hold her own. Actually the "LIBERTY" on her is a much stronger strike than the PCGS 67. Her head's more three dimensional as well.....but other areas on her are not as strong as the PCGS coin.

There are a few hairlines in some of the fields so youre much more likely to get MS-64 FH or maybe 65 FH, but with a 65 FH itd still be a score.

That coin has a ton of eye appeal. It definitely has that POP and "wow" factor. It is undoubtedly mint state imo, and even though it was likely dipped, I don't think it would be considered overdipped and the luster is strong enough not to affect the grade. My concern now is with that scratch below "LIB" and "GOD" on the obverse. I may be wrong, but those look a tad deeper than run-of-the mill circulation hairlines and may greatly affect the grade.

 The strong strike doesn't really make a difference when grading these, I'll say MS-63 FH. Still very nice!  |

I took another couple of shots of the areas of concern. The hairlines are very superficial and pretty much disappear if viewed from a different angle. The LED lighting accentuates any marks and makes them appear worse than they actually are IMO. Am enjoying everyone's comments. Keep them coming. Paleoguy   |

Oh wow, I just saw the one beneath 'lib'. That may indeed get it knocked down to 63. If theyre not nearly as visible, then I say 64 FH overall.

She's already resting from her long trip in my Type Set album and getting used to her new neighbors. I love her, warts and all!

My example has some "warts" too. Specifically, a "well placed" knick upon liberty herself!   I keep telling folks that it came that way from the mint, but no one believes me...   |
