    Too nice--I think it's been "worked on".

    Okay - I tend to agree. The IB look parallel to each other which is obverse 11. Heck as a 132 or a 133 it is a good find, but I think 133. Of course larger pictures would be nice.

    Oooh. Very nice! I have not seen a nice large pic of one of those. I love the wavy shape of the lettering, especially noticeable on LIBERTY.

    What do you grade it?

    I would agree S-133. 132 and 133 can be hard to tell apart in low grade. The first 7 is lower on the 133 with the top of the 7 being at the same height as the top of the 1. On 132 the top of the 7 is above the top of the 1.

    As for the S-138

    Ooooh pretty!

    I'd rather see a Beautiful Draped Bust than a "Beautiful" Frightened Liberty. But then I'm partial to the Draped Busts.
