Thoughts on grade and surface originality are much appreciated guys!   |

I'm going to step out on this one and say its MS. these are one of the toughest series to grade due to strike issues. the surface preservation is excellent with very nice luster and peripheral toning. I'm thinking it looks 64 but the strike may limit to MS63. great eye appeal. she's a keeper!

AU-55, original surfaces, gorgeous bullseye tone.
I love this one. There is nothing that's worth a negative comment.

55 sounds right. I see rub in the hair and the eagle. I see the scratch across the horizontal lines on the shield as a negative on an otherwise very pretty coin. Surfaces and toning are very pretty. Strange that the feathers in the back of the arrows are so beautifully detailed but the arrowheads look flat. Congrats on a very nice coin!
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."

Looks dipped and retoned with muted luster but it's likely market acceptable for problem-free: AU53.

If this coin has characteristics of being "dipped and retoned", would this coin be graded by PCGS?
Great looking coin in my eyes..

Id say AU-58 but the TPG probably said MS-62. Looks to have been dipped years ago and re toned quite well, it has excellent eye appeal. |

I'm going to give it a MS-62, and say the flat spots are due to strike, the only downside to this coin is the mark on the shield which imo holds the coin back from a higher grade. It's a nice one.

AU-58 here as well, wouldn't be surprised to see in in an MS holder. Very nice.
