[QUOTE="Steve E, post: 50197, member: 2147"]Ok, got the coin back. Here's the best I could do with my scanner. Color's bad, details sort of show, I'll descibe it best I can. The bright shiny-looking areas are from the scanner light and not rubs. Obv., all folds are crisp in drapery, no evidence of wear on tops of legs. Clasp on shoulder is crisp and clean. All hair details visible and LIBERTY is strong and full also with no sign of wear. Hardly no contact marks on the figure or in the fields. Rev. tells it all I think. Look at the breast (the highest point on the 20c piece) not a sign of any rub. Wing tips and wing feathers all crisp and clear. Again, hardly any contact marks. The 1895s pieces were notorious for weak strikes but this one has a super strong rev. and a sharp obv. I wish you could see the true color. I brightened the image to bring out the detail but in doing so lost the wonderful light rainbow colors.[/QUOTE]
