This one caught my eye because it just seemed nice and original. What say you?

I say it is sweet, and if it is ever for sale for under 500 bucks, you can consider me an interested party.

You send me a PM for a seated half and not the dollar???

I like this coin! It's look reminds me of our 59-s. The reverse detail holds this coin back a little, i'd guess XF-40 as for the grade.

I like the overall look. There is a light patch across the right leg into the shield that is a little troublesome for me. I agree with the XF grade.

lordmarcovan · August 30, 2008 6:48AM

Seriously, though, I agree with the XF40 grade, too.

I overlooked the "O" mintmark at first glance, despite it being right there, and in the title.

Guess I was taken in by the overall crustiness, and distracted.

I was thinking VF35 when I first saw it.

My first impression was 35 and original looking...

VF35 was my first impression too

Although the coin looks terrific at first blush, there is something about the surfaces that makes me pause.

I'll guess VF35. Looks nice.

Is this coin being sold or imaged by tnfc? Every coin image they display on eBay seems to have an odd red-orange cast. I can't believe that all of their coins have red toning, so their white balance must need tweaking....

Whis is???

Elaborate please...

Very attractive coin but the rim bump on the reverse makes me pause... The coin is nice overall but if you scrutinize too closely there are IMHO some troublesome areas...

I would not mind owning it....

VF 20-35 depending on severity of some of the scratches and the rim ding...

There's something going on in the obverse field on the viewer's rt. It's noticeably lighter than the rest of the coin & has some odd chatter. Look to your rt. of the drapery & the arm. Ditto re the spots on her thigh.
