That's a very common clash from Liberty's neck. On the VAM 19A and 22, a similar clash is possibly what aggravated the die such that the die...
64. Good luster, strike, and eye appeal. Surfaces have only minor field scuffs and ticks on the devices. No heavy hits, but too many for a gem...
AU details, AT, possibly also cleaned.
They should have cross promoted their new US banknote department by having them "slab" (or whatever the term is for currency -- "sleeve?") the COA.

Flattered by those who value my opinion. As for whose grading opinions I value, it tends to be those who are not only consistently good at...
64BN. Has luster, good surfaces, especially on reverse, with only minor ticks, eye appeal could be better. The dark spots max it out at 64 for...

64BN. No wear, great surfaces, but not perfect. Luster is good, but not great. A few hits here and there, but none heavy where it counts most....
