I guess I should have looked at a varieties already posted. Pardon the duplicates.
The first is an O.106, "laced lips", AU55. I love that nickname. Due to a graver's slip Liberty's lips appear joined to her chin. Some find it difficult to make out, including me. It's an AU55, which I think was generous. But the toning and luster are first rate.
The second is an O.108, AU58. From the Roger Solomon collection...a pretty, flashy example with stars drawn to the rim. Most impressive are the light golden color and off the charts luster. Solomon had a great eye.
The third is an O.110 in AU50. Nothing special but very nice surfaces and original toning.
The fourth is an O.112 in XF45. A lot like the one above with a little more color. Just plain good lookin'!
The last is an O.113 I'd call XF40. PCGS bagged it for cleaning which I find ridiculous. But it's just not worth resubmitting. It lives in an old Wayte Raymond album, along with the rest of my raw bust halves. Lance.
