Any help with a grade and variety on this early halve would be most appreciated! It is a lovely coin and the earliest I own.   |

More images of Obv and Rev with different lighting. I was hoping to show that there is some remaining luster to the coins but can not seem to get a photo that depicts the luster well.   |

AU50. Nice Strike.
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."

Very well evenly struck AU-53 and an absolute beauty. I really like this coin.
This should bring better than average AU price if you ever sell it.

AU53 is my grade and O-104a is your Overton variety.

I had it at AU55 and O104a.
Is it worth having it slabbed?

Yes, that coin is worth having slabbed. NGC is a bit stricter on BH but will usually sell to a wider audience. PCGS has taken a lot of heat in the last year for overgraded BH.

I would say AU55 and is certainly worthy of getting slabbed! I love the die cracks.

Absolutely worth having slabbed and I agree to go with NGC. Did you just acquire this?
