[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 614031, member: 705"]Well Doug just took the words out of my fingers - I would also say that wear is wear - toning can't account for lack of detail, and luster. Cabinet rub is not the case in this coin IMHO - as you said...front side up, and in most cases that would be correct. BUT, I would say that most of the wear is on the front side of this coin. The stars down near the date, and back of the head look to be weakly struck - therefor I will give on the lack of detail on the hair....but if you look at the hair on top of the head, and above LIBERTY, the beads in the hair, and the hair above the eye, I don't see how you can say that the dis-coloration (sp?), and lack of detail came from cabinate wear. BTW -The nick in the hair doesn't bother me nearly as much as the hit on the nose. Speedy[/QUOTE]
