Thanks Ray & Joe. Just noticed a distracting line that goes from about 12 o'clock in the coin's reverse, between the T and E of STATES, to the eye of the eagle. Didn't notice it until I held the picture at arm's length. Doesn't quite look like a scratch but I see a line. Also think I see what looks like an eyeball inside the eye of the eagle. It's saturday night but I assure you that I haven't been drinking.

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."

Congrats on completing your Barber half set. I abandoned my attempt to fill out the set, less about 10 coins, some expensive coins in that set.

Haha... not going to attempt a barber half set. I just completed the half dollar section of my short type set. Not quite the same thing.

Looks like a nice problem free coin to me. I don't really know much about grading these so I'll pass on making myself look foolish.

thanks. Just surprised by the color change. Even was thinking if this seller dipped the coin before sending to me.

I like it at 40. Preferred the darker look but still like it lighter.
