<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 82332, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>The LIBERTY is in a recess on the hairband that allows it to be almost completely visible down to grades of VERY GOOD.&nbsp; It is simply the way the coin was designed. LIBERTY was not on a high area of the design so it didn&#039;t wear away too easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin looks like it was struck with a cracked die.&nbsp; The coin was probably cleaned as the surface looks pitted.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to tell if the coin was worn around the date or if the weakness was a result of cleaning.&nbsp; It is also possible that since the die was cracked, the strike did not impart the details to the finished coin very strongly in those areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would really require a closer look to give you a little more information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
