Owner Comments:
WB-101. The first impression given the strike, original toning and eye appeal of this coin is that it is seriously undergraded. But under high magnification a series of very small nicks can be seen on Liberty's gown and leg. Even so these are so minor that the coin still should stand a good chance of grading MS-65. There is an interesting small die break on the reverse starting in the rim through the O of OF triangulating to the final S in STATES. From David Schweitz, July 2008.
