Grade please? Also, has this coin been dipped or is it original skin? Thanks!   |

I sure do like the reverse of this one. Some cabinet friction on the obverse. MS-64. I don't think this was dipped.

I'm in at 64 as well. Looks gorgeous to me. Solid strike with attractive luster and toning. You can even still see the die polish lines in the shield!

MS-64, but given the way NGC is going these days, they probably call it MS-65.

64
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."

Sorry, Smalldawg59, but the mint luster is apparent on this piece via the picture. The only thing "the purists" might not like is a possible dip. The luster is "all there" for the Mint State grade.

I have this coin in my hand and it is beaming with luster and just everything indicative of a nice strike. On a different note, I believe a coin is dipped when it looks washed out and blast white. Here is a picture of the coin again. I also posted a 1907 ms63 below it. The 1907 looks dipped to me because, while still having luster, it looks blast white kinda and washed out. Am I correct? Thanks!   |
