Littleton didn't assign a number grade, but I'd be interested to hear what you think.   |

I find littleton's grading self-serving and always jacked up to push product. This one looks VG10 with some Fine elements, especially around the obverse shield, but not enough to push it over. I think this is a strong VG10.
Couldn't care less what littleton said. I am guessing they said choice XF.
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."

I think it'd have a decent shot at F, but I'd see that as the ceiling for it.

Putting my dislike of Littleton aside, this is a textbook VG-08, and possibly VG-10 given its choice appearance.

It's an 8 for sure. The circulation cameo adds considerably both to the eye appeal and above an equal technical grade without that toning.
