VF-25 details. That reverse rim looks severely damaged.

To me .. pictures make negatives look worse than they do in hand.
Looks mid VF, I will be interested to see if it gets a "Details" I really hope so. In hand, the rim damage doesn't look as bad as in the photo, but is definitely still noticeable, even more so under magnification. Quote:
VF-25 details. Sorry! No need to be Reality is just sometimes  |

***RESULTS*** Pics Below Great news! First of all, PCGS returned my order of 4 coins very quickly. They were accepted on November 30th and shipped on December 15th. Secondly, and most importantly, this coin graded without a details grade as a VF-25!  So what do you all think about this grade? Here is a TrueView.  Picture of the slab  |

Congrats!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

First off congratulations on the grade. Quote:
So what do you all think about this grade? I have to guess PCGS thought some of the rim issues were planchet defects because there is no other way it could grade problem free. That's my 2 cents worth. |

PCGS was wrong. That amount of damage should be "details." I can certainly see that. I felt really lucky about getting this one non-details graded. I had never seen any coins in PCGS slabs with the amount of "damage" on the rim of mine. Quote:
