Mike, I think you need to change your signature, you failed.  Are these all in your stable now? Or hope to be? Looks nice, I have never even see a coin in hand to begin to grade.  |

The twelve step program doesn't start until 'next week' so he is in the clear until then  Really neat to see such old coins in great shape! |

Looks like a well struck au58. Rub evident in breasts. There are large, prominent disturbances in the right obverse field that may details the coin.
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."

Is this a coin you own or that you're looking at? It's a little dark but I can't tell if that's just the image or toning. It probably grades AU-55. Fantastic strike...I love the clean, round cheek and hair detail. What bothers me the most is the scuff marks in the right obverse field. I'm not sure if they are on the coin or holder. Looks like the coin though. It's a toss up if this would CAC if those marks are on the coin and with the darker toning which may turn some off. It may though because it has a lot of other positive attributes to offset.

I assume the disturbance in the right obverse field of the obverse is on the holder, not the coin.
Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL strike both obverse and reverse that is beautifully evenly strong.
Only the tiniest hint of rub.
A really lovely 58. Usually I'm a bit more reserved on dark tones, but the overall eye appeal is so lovely that I'd push the bid above average by 20-30% on this one.

AU55, and that right obverse field issue is hopefully on the slab and not on the coin...

I know you have a tremendous collection of Seated dollars, but this is surely one of the best! |

WOW! If the ticks in the obverse field are on the holder, AU58 all day.
