    LOL! No offense but I think the coin was overgraded. I want the haircurls above the ear defined and in the Bun also!

    I think many of you are grading on the lack of detail in the strike rather than wear. That's a TPG XF coin all day, IMO.

    I bought this coin largely based on the color and original surfaces.

    The ol' strike v. wear conundrum. High points on the obv are the eyebrow and hair above and in front of the ear but not the bun. with the bun somewhat soft, along with other hair curls and LIBERTY I think weak strike and wear of about a 40.

    This. I bought a Coronet head LC from a well known dealer at one of last years' Baltimore shows. He had it graded 45+... I think I put the coin up here for a gtg and most put it at 50-58... with a couple of MS guesses...

    These photos show better obverse detail than the original, so I will up my grade from VF35 to XF40, FWIW now LOL.
