Quote: I saw a couple at my local rare coin outlet, one PR62 and a PR64, both CAC and both listed at $82,500 APMEX has 2 coiled hair stella patterns struck by the mint in copper, gilt (plated) in gold for about $82,000 each, one for each year, in PCGS plastic. You should know enough to recognize these for what they are. They are nice, but the surfaces looked grainy or rather bumpy. Having said that, they are nice, us mint issued patterns referenced in Judd and they are acceptable substitutes at one tenth the price. The gold stellas are considered patterns too. They also have one of the gilt flowing hair pattern coins, the one with the rarer date.
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."
