Message:: [QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2226373, member: 56842"]Here's my $0.02. Purists in the school of grading will warn you about these items: OBV: scratches above her right shoulder, below her neck, scattered in the left and right fields, a hit on the "1" of the date, and above the "E" in "LIBERTY". Possible rim ding between 5 and 6 o'clock. REV: scratch above eagle's head and multiple contact marks. So, my humble novice opinion is that it would grade VF details when going strictly by ANA standards (and thus is a "problem" coin). TPG's would likely give it one or two grades above VF-30. Edit: Don't let this depress you. I almost bought many a Seated Dollar because I was in a hurry... I wanted one so badly. Since they are so large, it is really tough to find one without significant contact marks. And those that don't have 'em are often priced far higher than they should be (IMHO). I don't know how much you're willing to spend, so that comes into play as well. Be patient! You'll find a problem-free coin if you look long and hard enough.[/QUOTE]
