Picked this one up at a really nice price. It was advertised as S-242 (don't need help with the variety as after research I see the die crack through the top of "RIC" in America and one coming off the end of the olive branch and into the "U" of United. These verify that this is S-242). Asking the experts if this is correct? Asking for Grade Opinions as well please. Thanks in advance, Blair   Edited by throughtheireyes

I'd say AG3. However, the smooth surfaces and lack of corrosion or damage give this piece better eye appeal than most examples with comparable wear. I wouldn't be surprised to see it graded G4 by a TPG. |

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."

Thanks! I had it at g4 so I was close. I grabbed it up because to me the wear looks very honest with no ed.

Thanks again everyone... sadly it appears this coin was lost in the mail. The seller did not get a tracking number so I'm kinda &^%$...

 hope you are able to recover the coin.
