This next coin was an unexpected find at my LCS. It's an 1875-S Twenty-Cent Piece, which was in an ICG VF-30 slab. I traded in a multitude of coins I didn't need any more and brought this coin home. Now it's snug in my album!   |

Lovely
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."

Thank you, everyone!  As a rule, I don't like upgrades, because I'd rather spend more upfront for a coin that I'll always be happy with. My goal is to have circulated coins in my 7070 be at least F-12. However, when I first bought the album, I incorporated a few coins in the G-VG range from my general collection. Those are targets for upgrades, including the 1827 Capped Bust, Lettered Edge half dollar I posted earlier.I've replaced it with a solid F-12 1824. Anyone care to venture an attribution? That is not my area of expertise.    |
