Can you guys give me your opinion on the condition of this coin? I have my own, but don’t want to bias the responses.
Just on the fly, without consulting Photograde, etc- that looks like F12 to me. I believe LIBERTY only needs to be full, not strong. I think some weakness to the central letters is acceptable. Again, that's my fast n' dirty impression, without consulting any references. Old cleaning? Maybe, but market-acceptable, I believe. I think it's a "just squeaked by" F12, so a TPG or someone else might say VG10. But I personally think it makes the F12 grade, if barely. Certainly not a bad coin.
To my eyes, that's a full F12, maybe pushing F13.25 . . . . . I'm seeing this as a full LIBERTY. I would buy it as such . . . . But what the heck do I know . . . . . Cleaned, yes, but old and not unattractive.
Thanks, guys, I was at F-15, as it looks a little better in hand than the iphone pics. The reason I asked for opinions was to see if anyone thought it was cleaned. I see a few of you think it possibly was, but most didn't mention it. There are no hairlines, but the remaining darkness around the stars had me questioning.
