rbaker20 Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted Yesterday 2:46 pm Just bought this and it is in route. These are only pics available. Looked high grade and thought it was a steal of a price at $45. What do you think about grade? I thought maybe low XF. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11917 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:48 pm I think the grade is VF because there is no separation of the individual feathers in the left wing of the eagle. The right wing looks a little better but sits undeareath toning. But the left wing puts it at VF. In addition, it looks like a details coin because there are what looks like two large spots of corrosion in Liberty's neck. Enlarging that area appears to show that it is not smooth datk toning over an intact surface but metal seems to have been disturbed in those dark areas. Still seems like a reasonable price paid for the coin in spite of the issues. 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."
