Could I trouble you fine folk for opinions on this coin. I have my eye on this specimen along with two other coins that I'll post separately. Seller's pics - the mark on Reverse going thru M is on the capsule. This coin is raw.   |

VF in my opinion.
Errers and Varietys.

The extreme metal flow from die deteriation indicates late stage die. I think we are looking at a weak strike with minor circulation wear, I'm at XF maybe low AU.

Quote:I don't think TPG's care about that. Agreed. LDS comment was more specific to what some might see as wear is more likely a weak strike. |

Definitely LDS, as are all 37-D 3 leg. Not a lot of wear to this one. Most of the perceived wear is Die Deterioration. I'd say AU-50 is even a touch conservative, possible AU53 |

AU53. Looks sharp everywhere.
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."

Well someone seriously overpaid. 1350 without the 25% buyers premium add-on. Twice what I was topped at.

AU-53. Some luster, full split tail, very little wear.

Average slabbed sales at 53 are $900, at 50 $700. Buyer of this is in 1700+ for raw sight unseen.
