<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 493364, member: 7851&quot;]How can this coin be graded an AU 50 when the word LIBERTY cannot be read on the head band? Also, the ribbon is showing NO DIAMONDS. What were they (PCGS) thinking. It could be a weak strike but how does this coin get an AU grade?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D320329305009%26indexURL%3D0%26photoDisplayType%3D2%23ebayphotohosting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D320329305009%26indexURL%3D0%26photoDisplayType%3D2%23ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=320329305009&amp;indexURL=0&amp;photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was looking for an 1871 with a bold N in the word CENT on the reverse when I came across this specimen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What do you think is going on here with the coin an the grade?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
