This shows lightly Prooflike surfaces due to the dies being repolished. There is a low "bulge" in the field right behind Liberty's right hand, just visible in my images, which may be the culprit. Not likely to be a die clash but possible due to other damage due to material entering the coining chamber. The result of the polishing removed some detail, most noticeable as weakness on the shield/Eagle's neck on the Reverse. There are also some very light planchet lines (roller marks) across Liberty's body, likely due to a reduction in striking pressure to extend the life of an already damaged die. I see what may be some light evidence of rust on the Obverse die, which suggests a damaged die that had been put aside was reworked to finish out the year's production. Lightly cleaned as almost always seen, however it was a long time ago. The cleaning is made a bit more obvious by the reflective surfaces however obvious luster remains in protected areas. Some Obverse scratches should be obvious in my images. Overall detail based on actual wear is that of a mid-grade AU coin; priced along the lines of an AU-53 coin, with a little something extra for the unusual surfaces. Certainly still suitable as a high grade Type example, and far better than the typical scrubbed out, screwed up "AU" coins I see offered by many "dealers". Guaranteed genuine backed by our firms 80+ years in the business, plus all the industry "garden salad" (PCGS, CAC, NGC, ANACS, ANA, etc., etc.). Please note that due to value, depending upon delivery address this may require Registered Mail shipping (slower delivery time) - please take this into account prior to considering a purchase. Optional Express Mail delivery available, both services below my actual cost.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately.

All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
