But why not look for a coin that's better struck. I've already got an AU53 1867 No Rays & a PR64 1870, so this was less of a "one and only" and more of a "just for fun" purchase.

Only the smallest hint of rub, so AU-58. Rather even strike for this date. Lovely tone. Nice across the board.

This is a tough one. Hard to tell the difference between a weak strike and wear. I'd love to say AU-55 or MS-62 but will go with AU-55. Nice color!

Glad to see that PCGS was a bit conservative with this one.  A couple of its soon-to-be-neighbors   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. Brandeis |

Better undergraded than overgraded, if not correctly graded.

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."
