is it hard to make heads or tails from this picture? What do you think?

    See if these are better.

    I agree with Placid! image

    Not sure what you are asking, the pictures appear to show an accurately graded VG nickel with full raised obverse and reverse rims. You have to take his word that the letters in LIBERTY exist but the wear pattern looks right.

    Good at best....if the seller knew anything about Liberty nickels, he would've took the picture so that you could see the key diagnostic...the letters of LIBERTY. Picture shows a nice G.

    It looks pretty ordinary - kinda sorta like the one I have. One of these days, I am going to bite the bullet and get a better one. But then again, half of my Liberty Nickel collection needs upgrading - so why should this one be any different.

    Maybe because it is the most expensive coin in the bunch?

    A little more editing to make things right...unfortunately the diagnostics really don't show up any better, but at least the coin isn't squished.

    Ahhh, my favorite coin. However, this one's barely in Good condition as has already been stated. Twowood

    By what standard would this coin be "barely" Good?

    This coin is clearly IMHO better than Good. The wear pattern of this coin is VG (and I assume that the scan did not pickup the letters in LIBERTY mentioned in the description)

    The coin is a Good-6, if sent to any major grading service.

    trust me, i know

    I don't want to argue good or very good, but at least a strong, strong, good.

    should I be concerned about the change of color across the middle of the obverse? Or is this just incidental toning?

    The seller has perfect feedback as a buyer and seller. Also if the letters are not there he would not risk getting a negative feedback!
