numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 1:37 pm I thought I would post some coins that I bid on but did not win. Bid $172, sold for $174. Thoughts? Thanks! 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."

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 1:48 pm Kidding aside you look to be at the au/bu line and it's hard to tell if it has any wear under that color. The left side obverse looks like a chemical wipe on the left side or something that toned the coin. My guess is it is almost uncirculated. Note the huge die crack on the reverse that goes around most of the devices at the perimeter. Edited by cointagous 05/22/2023 4:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 3:01 pm AU55, probably straight grade although I personally suspect this may be retoning over an old cleaning. Nice die cracks on the reverse! Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 09:19 am there are lot of field scratches on the obverse under that toning. I suspect a coin that was improperly stored, cleaned and re-toned. AU55 sounds right however tough call on a straight grade Report this Post to the Staff
