<p>[QUOTE="luvNlife, post: 25074388, member: 38897"]If you don't mind, please educate me. Where are you seeing the wear Spark? The fellow at the LCS told me the hair detail above the ear is about the highest spot and prone to wear. I know the lighting makes it look like Liberty isn't standing as proud as the last example, but that is a lighting issue, and I suspect if her entire head were actually worn down the high spots above her ear, on the hat, and around her eyes, would also show a lot of wear, wouldn't they? I know some auction sellers are a bit deceptive with their altered pics, and others just don't take good pics. It's one of the things I like about Heritage, Great Collections and Stacks Bowers. They provide consistent, good images. It feels like some of the less pics, like the ones I posted, are a bit of a crap shoot. I was drawn because of the details in what I think are the high spots. I paid less than AU53 pricing for it, so it's not about that. I just want to learn. Thank you for posting the link. I can tell you I will probably spend a couple hours there tonight, like I have at PCGS photograde. It would be easier to just buy all slabbed coins, but I value the chance to learn something too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
