    Very nice clean example of a very unique coin , I'd guess almost fine , because to be fine you need 3 letters of liberty showing , other than that the design is all there .

    Ryan,

    Even with the reverse nicks and common (if you can call it that) date you did REAL good for the price.

    I would have bought it.

    Great type coin! The hits on the reverse don't bother me at this grade/price. Nice coin!

    From the photos, I don't think so -- but it is tough to be sure.

    Wow, very nice coin...especially for the price. Definitely a steal, well done! I'm no expert, but I would personally grade the coin G-4.

    Isn't there a big cut at 5 o'clock reverse?
    Hope its not a problem coin.

    There are 2 pretty good hits on the reverse, one at about 4 and the other at about 5 o'clock. I would expect these dings to keep the coin out of a TPG holder, but IMHO the marks do not detract from the coin's eye appeal. So, to me, it doesn't hurt the coin that much. However, he paid $56 for the coin which is well below what a G-4 example is worth (I feel this coin has G-4 details)...so he did just fine if you ask me.
