    I like the toning, looks to have just missed FSB:

    I hate to bring this up but something looks off with the coin. Mushy lettering and missing details. Maybe just the images.

    Not to really push this but the top on reverse from 9 to 2 o'clock may well have been affected by die grease or similar. Similar to the obverse, and look at the "I" and "B" [amongst other lettering issues] in LIBERTY which may be evidence of doubling
    Actually the rest looks quite good with excellent device details and underlying luster not showing in pictures.

    After taking another look. I agree with Larry and Bill.
    The doubling on liberty, Infact all the details look wrong.

    Hmm, in hand the coin looks good as far as the devices - excellent in fact. It is not a valuable coin but thought the toning nice & agree the lettering is blurry.
    Look at the details around Liberty's eyes, lips, face, chin, neckline as these look excellent IMHO.

    So good points all and maybe it is a wanker, but will drop it by an expert for opinion perhaps at the Baltimore show mainly for curiosity sake.
