[QUOTE="900fine, post: 414740, member: 6036"][B]MS63[/B]. Ahhhh Bud ! Decided to give us a toughie, huh ? :) Not gonna take it easy on us, are ya ? :) I'm assuming the southwesterly "scratches" in the left reverse field are on the holder. I'm also assuming the color "aura" around liberty is an artifact of the camera. If it's on the coin, it's a little distracting. [B]Obverse [/B]: Good detail in the feathers ! Full LIBERTY - often lacking, even on Mint State T2 G$1s. Those are the elements which set this one apart. Clashed dies. [B]Reverse[/B] : A little soft on the date and denom, but that's typical on these. In general, the reverse has a little less detail than the obverse. Worn dies ? Poor die alignment ? Heavily clashed dies - common on these. Spendy coin, that's for sure.[/QUOTE]
