<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 859583, member: 11854"]It's clearly AU. Blow up the image and you will see that Ms. Liberty's right (viewer's left) knee is flat. Keep in mind that this is the 1917 Type I issue, which is in general the best struck issue in the entire series and does not come with a poorly struck knee. If the color is accurate in the images then it has nearly certainly been dipped in the past since an AU coin that is 90+ years old should show some sort of darkening of color. This is not to say that the coin cannot be attractive or valuable, but it is what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
