<p>[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 282894, member: 2972"]I said AU because of the apparent lack of high-point rub, and the presence of luster most evident on the obverse (the photos seem to show a great deal of luster in Liberty's dress, and her forearm and the pole aren't marked up like they are on most XFs). The areas you mention on wreath and bow on the reverse, I'm fairly certain, is from a lack of strike, as other areas of the wreath show good detail with just a touch of rub (look at 12-2 o'clock). I would also expect the rims to show more wear/damage if lower than AU. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, XF or even VF wouldn't surprise me, because to be honest, all of Eduard's photos confuse me (for instance, the obverse looks quite original, and the reverse looks overdipped/cleaned), and as a result I don't have a great deal of confidence in my assessments...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
