[QUOTE="900fine, post: 542210, member: 6036"]Is that a bang on the obverse rim 11 o'clock ? Does the coin in hand have any luster ? The photo doesn't. The wear pattern in Libbie's hair is odd. The coin has AU detail elsewhere, so I would expect more detail in the hair. Seems almost like it's flattened out somehow. At best, it's AU53. It's likely a bodybag; if the luster is dead, it's been cleaned and it's BB. It's possible the rim bang would BB, but maybe not. So hard to tell from photos.[/QUOTE]
