[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 500604, member: 13016"]I noticed that the "I" in LIBERTY wasn't present. It doesn't matter, though, on this coin. The hair detail, and other detail, clearly shows that this coin is of a higher grade. Normally, with the "I" missing, one would grade a Liberty nickel VG-8 or VG-10, but this coin is a nice AU with a weak strike and also possibly some grease in the die covering up the "I." Note the weak strike on the stars on the obverse at 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock, and also the lack of detail on the wreath on the reverse, with corresponding good detail on the obverse.[/QUOTE]
