<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3716478, member: 19165&quot;]As I said, this one was difficult because of the pictures. As you identified, there were several areas of the pics that may have led to confusion. On the obverse especially, the breast is the first place I look at for traces of wear. Liberty leads with her breasts, and wear appears here first. On a &quot;maybe AU&quot; coin like this, it will appear either as flatness (AU-55) or as slight dullness (AU-58). While the pictures here weren&#039;t perfect, they were sufficient that I really didn&#039;t see any dullness on these high points. </p><p><br /></p><p>The same sort of thing applies on the reverse - looking at the high points, do you see any discoloration or wear? I don&#039;t. And thus, I&#039;m led towards an UNC grade. After that, looking at the luster, strike, and marks will lead me to (hopefully) the right grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
