    Looks good at least AU58. Maybe better---i had a hard time finding one with a stongly struck liberty--even in unc., most are mushy at the LI in Liberty..Nice find. Just my opinion but use your own instincts if you intend to buy it.---Bob

  • It looks good to me---I'd like it for my type set--great surfaces and details--no spots or nicks--very nice! You might have to look for a while to find a better example.

    Looks like a nice XF/AU slider. Provided there's a good return policy, I see nothing wrong with the coin other than it is priced a bit strongly...Mike

    Thanks for the input. I pulled the triger, it will look good in my type set. He does have a return policy if there is a problem I can't see.
