This is my first time. Please be gentle.
Vine/Bars edge. Bought in the sixties before numerical grading. Thanks in advance for your knowledge and expertise.

First thing I see is a really neat coin but looking closer ... is that PVC contamination? Those speckles in front of Liberty's nose and in the hair plus the trapped greenish stuff in the leaf scares me a little.
I'd say it has VG10 details.

Wow, a coin not often seen on the CCF. She is pretty!
I'm putting it at F15.
Surfaces are quite nice for this issue, which also appears original. Great coin!
Welcome ;-)

Wow!
Don't see these too often and you have a beautiful example of that type!
I agree with F-15.

VF+ IMO. These lack detail from strike quality, not wear. The obverse would be worn flatter with a F-12 or F-15 grade in my opinion. I could be wrong though, but this is what I observe from this variety in general. This is an INSANELY nice example worth a huge amount of money. I believe the green in front of the nose is verdigris.

That is a SHARP one. I agree w/ Shadow and say VF. Also curious as to how much it cost back in the 60's.

Thanks to all who commented. It was $210 in early sixties. And to Shadow, what is IMO ?

I'd sell my car and buy 50 of these for $210 if I still had a car!
