First standing liberty, thoughts?

Just won my first standing liberty and was wondering what y'all thought?

Hello

I do not know about the value but it is a lovely coin with great character. Are you going to clean it?

Amanda

 

No cleaning. And yes I'm happy with it, what really caught my eye was the detail on the face being intact.

 

Nice coin. Not the best at grading these, but I say VF-30.

 

Please post a picture of it when it arrives.

Thanks
Mandy

 

I agree. Prob VF-30. Excellent rep of the series.

 

VF30 looks about right

 

Worth 28.00 in xf-40, but I think it's worth 30! But the gray sheet has More power

 

Trust has a v looking u

 

So in cod we trvst?

 

Yes, lots of older coins have V's instead of U's (e.g. Peace Dollars.) I don't know why.

 

Not bad, not bad at all. :thumb: The thing about SLQ's is if you want a really nice one you're gonna have to bring out the Benji's in a big way too.

 

It may simply be the lighting used for the image, but it appears it might have already had a gentle bath to remove some skin. However, what caught my eye just as much are the cuts in the right obverse under "WE TRUST" as well as on the eagle's wing on the reverse.

 

Because of the Romans dear friend. Our earlier coinage was a throw back to the more classical era and followed their form of lettering......
