[QUOTE="davidh, post: 484234, member: 15062"]I'm late coming into this thread so I'm probably echoing what others have said, but don't feel too bad about this one, its true worth is probably closer to $550-700. It's definitely not a MS66, closer to MS63 or 64, at best. What I see on the reverse - a scrape on the 3rd, 4th and 5th feathers of the eagle's right wing; a scrape on the 1st feather of the left wing; a dent in the field between the two wings; apparent multiple hits on the front of the base of the left wing; beat up O on OF; beat up D in UNITED; hits on the CA of AMERICA; gouge on the O of DOLLAR; starting of toning evident. What I see on the obverse - hit on the Y and in the field between the TY of LIBERTY; hit on Liberty's leg just above her right ankle; scrape on Liberty's right wrist; scrape in the field between the ER of LIBERTY; several scrapes on the left wall to Liberty's right; one damaged rivet at 9:00 on the shield. Aside from all that, it is a nice looking example. However, the pebbled appearance of the background fields doesn't look quite right, but at least she has a full head and all of her toes.[/QUOTE]
