Wear on the eagles feathers and talons keeps it at 40.

xf40 sounds right. NGC probably called it market acceptable despite obverse scratches. I would wait for one with better fields.
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."

Appears to technically grade 45. I also dislike those prominent field scratches on the obverse. The reverse is lovely. Find one with that look on both sides  |

XF-40 with a MPD protruding 2 out from under the rock, I can't tell if the "1" is present within the denticles. 1872 MPD S$1 VP-001 (Breen B-5491)
An errant numeral 1 is seen within the denticles below the date, and two additional numerals 2 overlap Liberty's base above the 2 of the date.https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-variet...-vp-001-4629...or is this too much information? Edited by oih82w8

I'm thinking a little too much wear for XF. Maybe VF35.

Probably an NGC XF45 and I agree with Prethen that it's really a technical 35-40. I would not buy this coin unless it was priced low, I am not fond of it in these images.

I would need better close up pictures to identify that variety.

They didn't get it right b/c based off of the pics it's WAY overgraded. I don't see how NGC landed at 53. My only thought is that NGC graded aggressively to get the contract as it was part of a large collection. Here's the auction if you guys want to follow: http://www.greatcollections.com/Coi...ar-NGC-AU-53Edited by MikeF
