<p>[QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 172752, member: 5418"]Hey, all. I was given this reeded Capped Bust by my roommate as a graduation gift. She somehow found out about the coin shop I normally visit, and they knew me when she described me, so they picked out some 19th century coins they know I've never looked at and probably don't own (and they were right). Anyway, the obverse is def. worn, and though 'Liberty' is full (but weak), I don't think it falls under the Fine category. Maybe the reverse would grade that, but def. not the front. Any opinions? Here are the photos (they're pretty big files):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://people.brandeis.edu/~jhonn/misc/cappedbustobv.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://people.brandeis.edu/~jhonn/misc/cappedbustobv.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://people.brandeis.edu/~jhonn/misc/cappedbustobv.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://people.brandeis.edu/~jhonn/misc/cappedbustrev.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://people.brandeis.edu/~jhonn/misc/cappedbustrev.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://people.brandeis.edu/~jhonn/misc/cappedbustrev.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
