I would like to hear some grading thoughts on this cent. There is no luster to talk about. The coin was stored in an old flip; the white you see in the loops of the date is flip debris. Snow-3, digit in neck.

Thanks for all opinions!

Awesome 301, did you cherrypick?

I'd be happy with mid-AU, 53-55. Obverse shows minor rub.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Yes, I did. It is a nice upgrade to my VF example. The S-3 can be a tough find.

Congratulations!
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."
