<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 8440111, member: 82181&quot;]For the coin in question I see enough of all the letters to grade it fine 15.&nbsp; I personally do not use the number of letters in Liberty as the sole grading point, however if the grading guides suggest a certain number or strength of strike, then I try to buy coins that match that criteria.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Here is why.&nbsp; Many years ago a coin dealer named Dick Osburn advised me that when buying coins you should always look at the coin through the eyes of the NEXT buyer.</p><p>Even if you say you have no intention of ever selling.&nbsp; He said if you find the appearance of Liberty to be too weak for the grade stated then guess what, the next buyer probably will too.&nbsp; Same goes for ugly toning, obvious problems etc.</p><p>The point is, if you can manage this trick you will end up with a much better collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
