Thank you for your kind comments.  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'm going to net grade this one due to the difference in what I see between the sides. the obv is a nice XF40+. the overall sharpness of of the reverse looks close to AU. after bouncing it up against several on PCGS, I'm going to net grade it at XF45

Congratulations on your purchase. I am curious what appealed to you with this PCGS 45 at $9,000 from Stacks/Bowers yesterday
versus Stacks/Bowers sale of a PCGS AU 50 at $6900 this past Sept.?

Thanks Everest. You have been around long enough to know that we give 48 hours before revealing the grade so that forum members can assess their own thoughts on grade without being influenced by the TPG grade. Having said that, the coin you referenced is pictured below. It was clearly scratched in the left obverse field and is a cleaned coin in a straight holder. It is an unattractive, misgraded coin and would not have been happy with this example. I buy the coin, not a grade on a holder.

You are correct NS I have been around long enough to realize if you want to play GTG it should be in the Title of your post or something like, you vs PCGS, thoughts on grade, etc. Thank you for your prompt reply to my question. Congratulations on your new purchases.

This is the grading forum. I don't ask people to guess the grade. I ask folks for their thoughts on how they would grade a coin independent of the TPG's opinion. If the coin happens to have been graded by a TPG we try provide that after 48 hours as one opinion among many.

You are correct. This is a grading forum. I am so used to seeing people including myself putting GTG or You vs NGC/PCGS or thoughts on grade & etc. My apologies. Thank you for your patience with me. All the best.
