$1,391. Coin is celebrating its 200th birthday. Thoughts? Thanks!

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 thinking its about MS63 but due to the price you got it for I'm going to say MS62 and still a fantastic buy!

I'll guess AU58 but it's hard to tell from the photos how much luster is there. Looks to AU just barely, from some light field rub areas. Otherwise a really nice high end example, if not for the light handling rub areas I think it's MS63 or 64 but as I see it only AU still high end AU at that.

I think I was able to attribute it to O-105. Let me know if you think otherwise and I misattributed it. Thanks.

I'll go 58 or 61. Tough to tell with the images.

PCGS called her AU58. I've owned a few AU58 CBHDs and this one is by far the finest.
