<p>[QUOTE="gopher29, post: 906227, member: 5379"]It sounds like you guys feel the reverse of this coin is a little nicer than the obverse. That's interesting as I do not really see that. To me, the obverse and reverse look equable. I actually think the date is the sharpest and most distinct feature of this piece. Maybe because it looks to me to have been the most well-struck area of the coin and because, as is so often the case with these coins, the date is usually one of the weaker areas. I will admit though that one of the biggest problems with this coin is the lack of hair detail on the obverse. The other major flaw is on the reverse in that the fraction is somewhat weak or "ghost-like". I'm still thinking that overall the coin might by nice enough to call a VG-10. But these coins are tough to grade in that so many of them seem to wear in such different ways.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
