On this piece, Liberty has been artistically 'nuded,' with good definition (the engraver even indicated the sole of her slighly upturned foot). She sits atop a simple, single-handled commode, addressing an item of male anatomy. Certainly a conversation piece. Toned a deep battleship gray. Coin grades About Fine. |

Liberty is rather crudely nude here. The reengraver also appears to lean toward the Rabelaisian as Liberty has been made chunky. She is perched on a chamberpot with a curving band as central decoration. The potty itself resembles a southwest basket. Toned. Coin grades About Very Good. |

Very rudimentary work -- Liberty is nude with little definition. She sits on a very small, simple nightjar engraved on top of the cargo bale (generally the whole bale is reengraved to make the chamberpot). Light surface marks. Toned. Coin grades Good. |

$100.00

The artiste here is far less prurient. Liberty's drapery has not been fully rubbed down, and there has been no curves added, so that she doesn't appear nude. She sits on a well-done, keg-like commode with a single handle, and cross-hatching lines. Toned. Coin grades About Very Fine. |
