Hello, Please help with grading on this 1866 Seated Liberty half dollar and if it is worth sending it to a TPG to get it slabbed. I don't think it is worth, but condidering that this has a mintage of 744,900 only, it could be somewhat rare?   In my opinion, this would grade between Fine and Very fine, if there is such a thing, because the Obverse seems to be Fine (F15) and the reverse Very Fine (VF25). What are your thoughts? Grading scale shown below.  |

You need to be careful purchasing coins from this seller. There are a lot of problem coins in his listings albeit not all of them. I believe this one may be but hopefully it looks better in hand than the seller's (typical) over-exposed half out of focus images.

Coin was received and it does look exactly as shown in the picture. I just couldn't get a better picture of the coin myself.

VF details. Attractive for the grade.
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."

VF-30 Details, cleaned. A lot of distracting marks in the fields.

It also may get pegged with Damaged.
