panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18627 Posts	Posted 05/11/2026 2:37 pm i dont do VAM's but she looks to be MS62ish. looks like she was improperly stored for quite a while in a more humid environment. the marks on the chin are probably roller marks as they are too perpendicular to each other. I'm not convinced the coin was cleaned, however, all the hairlines across the cheek and left field are suspect. Report this Post to the Staff

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."
