<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 299391, member: 1242"]I guess I am the odd man out! Although the coin has nice eye appeal, there is definite wear and rub on Miss Liberty's hairlines on the Obverse and wear and rub on the leaves and bow in the Wreath on the Reverse (I increased the enlarged pics by 200%). Therefore, I don't believe that it received a grade above MS-62 and really should not go above AU-58! I also believe that it was struck with rusty Dies but the weak denticles may be more from the Die Misalignment than any repairs attempted to the rusty Dies. I don't think that the offset would be considered an Off-Center strike as it was due to misaligned Dies. Note how the Reverse is offset in the same direction when flipped over but in a true Off-Center it would be the opposite as the Dies were offset in opposite directions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
