What a great looking coin! I admire how it isn't the usual Fair 2 or About Good 3. A great coin to crack out and stick into that album. Fantastic story, thanks for sharing!

Awesome acquisition. Consider adding your coin to the list of 100 Greatest U.S. Coins held by CCF members. http://goccf.com/t/411798IN 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."

Awesome story Earl!  You really should put that cardboard plug into the slab it replaced. Your grandpa is smiling down on you very proud inside I'm sure.

Again a huge thank you as well to my CCF family for all the kind remarks. Jacrispies said: Quote:

My favorite coin. I've presently got 10 sets of those completed and 2 more almost completed. It's been a 75 year collection.
