Debated between 35 and 40, but the strong even reverse strike kept prompting me towards the 40, even though that shouldn't affect a strictly technical grade. I think there is enough eye appeal that it would probably 40 at a TPG. |

VF-35. Nice look. Is there damage on the shield?

Yes, VF-35. There is just a little bit too much wear to call it EF-40.
It's a nice coin that has been messed with, which is unusual for these pieces. That is a big plus.

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."

VF40 but market grade will probably be VF35 it's a =/+ so close call I think.

The reverse holds this one back to VF-35.
