Sprucansailor Valued Member United States 188 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 12:29 am This is my first try at grading, I will put my estimate in White: MS-60 FB I can not tell if the braid of hair just after the eye is wear or a weak strike. I do not see any wear on the reverse. Please enjoy!

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 11:51 am Surface have some porous condition, look to be cleaned or dipped. Overall I'd say AU 50. Middle band is questionable. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 12:46 pm Those are luster flow lines, they show up a lot because of the close up pics. I too don't know if its wear. I'd say either AU 58 or MS-63, no FB though Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 2:17 pm Hmmm! I thought luster flow line appears in the background and not on the incuse area, like the letters and liberty face even when images is close up. Correct me if I am wrong ShadowCreator.

mattbrowning7 Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 07/06/2010 11:23 am I think I see some slight wear in the wing section parallel to the eye. Or maybe weak strike? I have difficulty identifying the difference sometimes if the questionable area is a little dull. 58/63+ Report this Post to the Staff
