[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 376707, member: 12965"]I disagree with this assessment and here's why: [I]obv - Hair shows no detail. LIBERTY is readable but ear, eye and rim are worn smooth. Stars are weak but visible.[/I] 1. Hair does show detail, if you look closer. 2. Ear, eye, and rim are NOT worn smooth, the eye is clearly visible and I can make out some denticles. 3. Stars are not weak, they stand out nicely. [I]rev - Letters in legend are well worn but partially visible. Wreath is worn smooth with bow and ribbon outlined.[/I] 1. Letters in legend are not well worn, they are just worn. 2. Letters in legend are not partially visible, they are fully visible. 3. Wreath is not worn smooth, I can easily see detail in the leaves. I would grade this a VG-8 corroded & scratched (looks like someone scraped it across the sidewalk to remove the corrosion). Net G-4. Ribbit :)[/QUOTE]
