This is the flattest head I've ever seen on a unc seated lib

But I think it's pretty darn cool. Almost like a silhouette of Liberty's head.

    Some 1857 seated dollars would rival it...

    But it is pretty darn flat!

    Neat but I don't think I'd want to pay MS66* money for a weak strike.

    I've seen a number that were worse, and most of them were dimes. I viewed the subject coin in hand and liked it, BUT for the head being so flat, so decided not to bid on it.

    That head certainly IS flat.

    Ahwash makes note that 1891's are most always found flat headed.
    This one is more so, but a very nice piece. It seems to have some
    different characteristics for an Ahwash-4, or a Fortin 104, in that it
    has a die crack from the (O) F to the A and I don't see the rev. die
    cracks that are supposed to be there. ?

    She might not be much in the brains department, but she certainly is good to look at.image

    The Liberty Cap is pretty smooth also. Do you suppose if Ricko made it look shiny again if it would get a 66*?

    Semi-OT, but for me the alltime winner must be 26-D quarters, whose heads often come CONCAVE
