There will be wear across all of the obverse, including the protected areas. There is hair detail, though much of the sharpness is gone. On some coins, the rim may touch the top of LIBERTY, especially in the lower VF grades. The reverse will have wear across the entire bison and in the protected areas. Normally, the horn will be funn, but the tip may be slightly worn. In lower VF Grades and on coins that were weekly struck, the tip of the horn will not be present. On some coins, the rims may touch the heads and tails of the bison.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
