This is another addition to my type set. A nice first year of issue common date. Nice Obverse but some schmutz between the T, S and wreath in the reverse. Would appreciate thoughts on grade. Also guess price paid. Third party grade and price paid revealed in 24 hours. Thanks for playing!

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'd say XF-45 with nice original surfaces. Very attractive despite that crud on the reverse. Maybe $50?

On the edge between XF and AU, but I will have to err on XF45 due to lack of luster. I paid $26 for my VF35 piece, so I could probably imagine you having paid $35 ish for yours.

EF-45, you probably paid $40?

I would grade it EF-45, although I don't know what the red stuff is at the end of the word "CENTS" on the reverse. Could it be candle wax?

I would think it's graded AU-53 and as for that red stuff on the reverse, looks like wax. Why the submitter didn't remove it is beyond me unless he/she thought it would damage it. Either way this is a nice type. $65.00?

EF-45. Probably graded AU-50. Needs an acetone bath.

Definitely in the AU-50 camp. My guess for purchase price - $60.

Paid $69 for this coin. Thanks for playing. Seems like PCGS was high in comparison to the CCF field.
