<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael Scarn, post: 3365414, member: 94715&quot;]I’m not an expert either, but I do like this series and spend a lot of time looking at old auction listing photos similar to you (sadly I haven’t seen too many in person, something I need to rectify <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).&nbsp; Anyway, I think for a 64 it looks great, particularly if strike is the most critical aspect to you.&nbsp; I would note, though, that while the central portion looks to have a better than average strike (even compared to higher grades, as you note), the upper portion of the coin is where the weakness appears to be showing up (look at the spikes on the crown/tiara, which appear to be quite flat as well as what appear to be very soft “B” and “E” in LIBERTY).&nbsp; Even so, at a 64 and at that price, I think you did all right.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do we think that the gashes on the reverse prevent it from a 65?&nbsp; Perhaps there are some friction marks on the high points that can’t be seen from the photos?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I agree with the comment on the dip, as I think I see a few residue spots around the date (and maybe a small one to the left of Liberty’s forehead?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share more photos once you have the item in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
