Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 09:10 am Please check this one out and advise for grade, condition, and value. I paid $110, the dealer thought VF20 I think it's a little higher. I saw a similar coin on HA it was labeled as O-119 with small letters. All help would be appreciated. I have a few more pics if you want to see more. There are two small scratches in the field in front of lady liberty. Is this placement of "OR" struck over the first part of "HALF" significant?

Wei Fun Valued Member United States 244 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 09:20 am A lot of lines, might have been cleaned at some point? Details wise you're looking at XF IMO, but if I'm right that it's been cleaned, value is probably not too different from problem-free VF. As far as value goes, assuming I'm right about the cleaning, $110 is probably pretty fair. If I'm wrong, and it's a problem-free XF, it's worth a little more. No significance to the misplaced edge lettering AFAIK. Report this Post to the Staff

wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 3:36 pm XF-40 is my guess. I see some ware on the cap and curls on the obverse On the reverse ware on ends of wing feathers. The obverse seems slightly better than the reverse. You may an good purchase here. And probably cleaned at some time Report this Post to the Staff
