    Looking for opinions on this and as to whether or not anyone thinks it may have been cleaned? From what I'm reading about it, my guess (super green guess) would be between VF-EF?

    Why? It has a full clasp, and full hair lines, and the reverse and no dicernable problems. It has great detail. What am I missing?

    I originally questioned its authenticity, but see it's a genuine "Large, perfect 4; normal D" variety (common). I don't like the surfaces...likely due to a bad cleaning. I would guess AU-50 details. Net ???.

    Yakpoo , what;s up with Libertys' nose , I collect bust halves and never seen a nose like that before on any bust issue , I'd give it AU-50 if it hasn't been harshly cleaned , which I suspect it has .

    I've since taken it to 3 different coin shops. #1 didn't give a grade but said prolly $110. #2 agreed VF-EF between $90-$150. #3 said F-VF and offered $45. I plan on keeping it in my collection and only selling if I absolutely HAVE to. If such a day should come or if I just plain change my mind, would it be worth getting a profession grade so I have a solid idea of its worth?

    Oh about the nose, that's due to the angle of the light inside of my magnifying glass. I can take another shot if folks would like that.

    I would not try to sell to #3 any more. My guess would be XF40.
