This is another coin that I have an opportunity to purchase. Thoughts on grade and fair market value? Thanks in advance.   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."

Don't take my word for it but it looks counterfeit.

The dark toning borders on environmental damage but it likely would grade without problems. Say VF35 to be conservative and figure a seller would ask $150 which would be fair market retail IMO. |

Solid no problem EF-40. Not a thing to possibly detail it. Purchased raw I'd be happy at the $170-190 range, but it will probably sell for less on ebay, if it's there, because the dark peripheral toning scares many buyers unfamiliar with this series. |

XF-40. I'd suggest acquiring it up if the price is within reason. Capped Bust Dimes are rarely seen with this nice eye appeal.

This nice dime was in a PCGS tomb. Wholesale was about $210 and Retail was $275. Sold for $260. I liked it at $200. Went over my top bid.

If you're patient you can find an equally good (or better) XF40 for ~$200.
