I don't collect these (yet), but found this one in an old box of mostly wheat cents and wondered about a grade. Nasty gouge on the reverse detracts, but otherwise what grade would you assign to this coin? My not-very-educated guesstimate is VG-8 details. Thanks! ~ Mark   |

Agreed, VG details, damage obverse/reverse (gouges on both sides)

It isn't a rare date, with the damage the value is silver melt unfortunately.

Thanks y'all! :O)
It was fun researching the series a bit - I grew to like it more than I thought I would.
Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be worth big bucks, but cool to learn about and I very much appreciate the grading advice - very helpful!
All the best,
Mark

I would pay 1.5x melt for that.  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."
