Thanks in advance, I'm looking for the Merc experts. What are your thoughts on this 1916-S.   |

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."

The fsb diagnostic only requires the middle band to be split. I still don't see any wear on this coin.

That's amazing about the PCGS designation of the fsb. Is Anacs and NGC like that too. I always thought all the bands had to be split. Anyway, AU details cleaned.....although might get a market acceptable problem free grade.

AU-53. Almost FB.
Toning is odd on this one, could be cause by past cleaning.
