[QUOTE="USS656, post: 327099, member: 6641"]Frank - First - No matter - Great Coin!!! Anyone would be lucky to have it - Congrats! Now to the part where I'm trying to learn without coming across like I'm criticizing. The Blue book says: AU50 - slight trace of wear above forehead, on cheek, and on eagle's head, wings, and tail. EF40 - Liberty Bold and its ribbon is distinct I see wear on the hair, leaves, nose, stars, eagles head, wings, tail, and talons. I don't know how to qualify the word "slight" and I know this series is difficult to find in higher grades but based on just reading the words I would have thought the grade to be a little above or below AU50. What is it that I don't know - besides years of experience :). Thanks Darryl[/QUOTE]
