I love them, and am 1 coin away from a complete set. That's very cool, I would love to see such a set in person. Maybe at a show. Re: the grade, yeah, I figured as much. It doesn't matter to me though, just can't wait to get this in hand. I'm starting to figure out which coins appeal and this is definitely one. Thanks for the responses. |

I should add that I'm one coin away (1857) from 1797 through 1857, not including the 1804 (can't afford that!).

color of pics are not very good at evaluating the surfaces. May or may not be a details coin.

VF-20 and I think all the issues are due to the strike.

f15 details
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."
