Comments:  Barre Liberty type.   Obverse: Tripartite shield of arms, wreath above. Reverse:  Athena, as Liberty wearing peaked cap holdong spear, other hand rests on shield.  Been looking to add this type to my collection for a while.  This example is fairly low grade but I think also has a weak strike.
