<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3137963, member: 92655&quot;]OK... Here is the reveal. Couple of things. First off the holder is horribly scratched so she isn&#039;t as photogenic as she should be. I&#039;ll spend some time with some polishing compound this weekend and see if I can&#039;t clean that up a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, I do believe the grader that blessed her with a VF20 was in a very generous mood that day. Now I am not near as educated on early coppers as I am other US coinage, but if this were any other piece I would say it is over graded. I have read that often these early pieces do get a bump and this may very well be an example of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find it odd that the heavier wear is on the perimeter of the piece. The date is quite worn however her hair still has much detail. The 100/000 error is readily apparent. If my tired eyes can see it without a loop, that is saying something.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end. I am quite tickled to own this piece of history that I could only dream about for so many years. There are several favorite pieces that travel with me back and forth to work and sit on the edge of my computer during the work day. And she will be joining that select group!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]801635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
