[QUOTE="900fine, post: 311303, member: 6036"]That is [B]one heckuva strike[/B], in a series known for poor strikes. The two sets of photos look so different as to be different coins. The first set shows many small scratches and imperfections. I would call it MS62 - nice details in the tops of the feathers and Liberty's hair. Looks like strike doubling in many places - last A in AMERICA, the first L in DOLLAR, and the wreath's ribbons. [B]Excellent detail in the wreath[/B]. Really nice ! The second set of photos looks like an [B]honest MS63, possibly PL[/B]. This series is known for very frequent and conspicuous die clashing - not this one ! Solid struck-up date - some of these are missing numerals, even on MS pieces. Though it may look weak to some, the word LIBERTY is solid - I've seen MS coins with LIBERTY illegible due to poor strike.[/QUOTE]
