canadanz Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 05/13/2011 7:30 pm Just picked this up to fill a hole. What do you think? I'm not sure how the reverse ended up so much more worn than the obverse. I'm guessing it's an incredibly weak strike coupled with heavy wear. Report this Post to the Staff

spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 05/13/2011 10:04 pm I have one that is more worn on the obverse than yours and one that is less worn on the obverse than yours, but both of them are about equally worn on the reverse. I think the reverse tends to show more wear for whatever reason. Nice looking coin though. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 03:00 am F-12+ in my opinion, the weakness on the reverse looks like strike to me...notice how the actual wreath has a lot of definition for a G coin. It would be flat in G. Report this Post to the Staff

eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 05/15/2011 4:18 pm F-12, just for the feather detail. It has a "Low Leaf" reverse. A lot of these reverses were understruck, as such. Report this Post to the Staff
