<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barberian, post: 26634887, member: 24442&quot;]I decided to look through the first 180 1877 (P and S) halves on eBay.&nbsp; After 180 coins searched, I found two &#039;77-S WB-38s (R5), a &#039;77-S WB-25 (R5; labeled as such), and this &#039;77-S WB-6 &quot;Weird F&quot; (R7).&nbsp; The seller&#039;s photos make it appear to be cleaned, but I don&#039;t see any hairlines and figure the cleaned look is a lighting effect. Instead, the obverse has a mottled pattern with some amber orange toning on and around the devices, and gray to black, slate blue toning elsewhere in the fields. The reverse is similar but with more color and mottled toning. The only significant problem I see is the scratch across the shield, legs, and in the right field that might prevent it from straight-grading.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Seller&#039;s photos - show some color and shows the weird F more clearly.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698747[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My scans - show the overall toning pattern.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698748[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
