bobbymeru Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 10/08/2011 9:31 pm why would this grade better than G? doesn't LIBERTY have to be at least partially visible? trying to work on my grading knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

w00zi Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 10/08/2011 11:09 pm Liberty appears to be obliterated so I'd grade it as Good. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 10/09/2011 08:03 am Overall level of detail is better than G; grading guidelines are guidelines but don't take into account strike, coin characteristics, etc. Usually coins aren't graded solely on one attribute, though a weaker Liberty/shield on a seated coin with otherwise XF detail could get it graded VF though technically you need full liberty for F-12 (just an example).

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 12:50 pm Thanks for the comments all! I graded it as VG-08. The Liberty is weak, though not completely obliterated. The "L" is half visible as well as tops of some of the other letters. The feather detail and rims are definitely VG+-ish. I paid $105 for her, this date is not cheap. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 3:48 pm When you see bits of liberty, a complete rim with denticles, and details in the feathers you got to go VG. I'd say VG 10 Report this Post to the Staff
