I recently picked this up on ebay and have not received it yet. However, I would like your opinion as to its grade. I will reveal what ANACS gave it (it's in an old holder) The barcode's there but don't cheat.    Pictures have been edited to highlight the coin's wear/scratches.

This is an interesting piece. Appears to be a slanted date variety, possibly one of the VAM 31 varieties with an associated die break on another part of the coin. Photos are not clear enough for a determination. Just my own observation, I may be wrong. Grade, I'd give it a "64".

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."

MS-64. There are too many little marks to grade higher.

Nice fields, but the cheek hits are a little deep for a 65 I think. If they were just scuffs, it might well make it. Certainly a super looker in any event.
