Carson City. Now I'm wondering what the date on that beauty is...  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."

I've had this buckle since I was a teenager.  |

It's all about you,do what pleases you the most. you can either put it away and just in your mind you know you have it or do what makes you happier,pocket it, wear it, chain it, at least you see it and feel it every day instead of keeping her in her coffin!

The slab certification confirms the inherent value of that coin, what with all the counterfeits flooding the market. So, I'd say keep it as is and get one of the counterfeits to use as a pocket piece to enlighten fellow or would-be collectors.

Looking good, thq, but I think cwb has you beat.  I admit bias.  |

If you could see the obverse of the cc you'd see that it is no beauty. Half of the date is obliterated. It's definitely buckle grade.
I tell people it's an 1873....lol....
That Ike should be mounted in something with a golf motif.

I inherited this Ike buckle from my father. Jbuck will most likely approve except for the fact that it's been cut up a bit. The surround is 14K gold filled (plated.) The buckle is .925 (sterling.) I love seeing dollar coins in buckles. It's very Western and very neat.

I remember seeing this on heritage. Nice and original. What did it sell for?

Since it's in the PCGS holder... how about you drill a hole in the holder (thru the existing hole in the coin) and wear it around you neck at the next coin show!
The looks you will get ... they will be priceless...

Sounds like good advice. of course you could always drill a hole through the plastic slab coindent with the hole in the coin and wear it. This way you have both a wearable item and the authenticity behind it. |
