I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    Cliff:

    What date is it? (1888-P I assume?)
    Need to see the entire coin on both sides to render a grade opinion.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Yes it is an 1888 P and I will post the other side soon.

    Thanks

    I like the monster close ups, but I'd benefit more from them (as I believe all others would) if they were preceded by regular images of the entire coin, then gradual magnification to the VAM PUPs.

    Awfully tough to give a confident grade opinion from those photos; the lustre and frost surfaces don't really come through very clearly. Could be anything from AU58 to MS66, because the cheek and fields seem to be so clean.
    When in doubt, don't.

    With only these pics to grade from, I would proffer a grade of MS63, as the scratch in the blow up of her cheek is pretty distracting and it appears to be more scratches and marks on the face than the first pic belies. JMO

    The cheeks are not as clean as it appears. The fields do have some marks. If this is Mushy Strike then I would say MS 60/ 61 IF not then I would say Au-55 as the ear shows what might be considered wear.

    Thanks all for opinions
