<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 198120, member: 66&quot;]I think the coin has been worked on and cleaned at one time, but I still think it is a nice enough piece for the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason for the odd wear is twofold.&nbsp; the reverse dies were cut more shallowly and do tend to wear away fasterthan the obverses,and the die faces were not parallel resulting in the extremely heavy denticals at 7:00 on the obverse and the weakness of LIBERTY across fromit.&nbsp; the high denticals tended to protect the obverse of the coin in that area which is why the curls and the date are so strong..</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately Budgood is incorrect on his attribution.&nbsp; your coin is the common S-65.&nbsp; Both 64 and 65 share the same obverse, butS-64 has two outer berries between the D of United and the S of States while S-65 has only one berry.&nbsp; your coin has only one berry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
