MS 62. It is worth $25 maybe in that condition. 1923 is about the most common year.

63
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."

the dullness of the profile and some slight wear on the shoulder leads me to believe this coin saw some circulation. I agree with IndianGoldEagle-AU58 slider

What makes them so tough? I know very little about them :) I have three of them from when I was a kid. I posted one of them on this forum and the grading opinions were all over the map. I understand why now. You really have to dive down and do your homework on the strike of each individual year. I've also posted pics of Peace dollars for sale that left me scratching my head. One example was graded @ ms-62 but looked like an au coin. I've held off on buying more because of this issue. Also, I just don't have the desire to collect these. They typically have ugly toning and you really have to do a lot of homework on each year to understand the nuances. I'm just not willing to put in the time. I find the reverse very attractive but the obverse IMHO leaves much to be desired. |
