Been lurking in this forum for some time; I've learned a lot about grading from your posts. Thanks. Now I would like to see how this one grades. Since I have the coin in hand I'll learn from it. PS I bought this coin when it was 100 years old a few days after my son was born in 1989. I bought it to give to him when he got older. As soon as he turns 50, I'll give ti to him.

to CCF! I think it would easily grade MS63 and possibly 64 on a generous day. Can I call you Dad?  |

MS62. This coin has some problems that likely won't details the coin. It has 4 digs. One of them (in green) looks like it might be a bag mark. The ones in red look like they were caused by stabbing the coin. They look too small and deep for bag marks. The reverse looks very pretty.  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."

Welcome T2L! Nice MS63 minus the takeaways. An unfilled album with the coin in it may be an incentive to collect! AG

MS-62
Numismatic_Student, one of the dings you pointed out is actually part of the design.

Thanks for your thoughts. Can't disagree with any of the comments. The middle red circle insert by Numismatic Student is definitely part of the design. The other three, including the one in the green circle are digs that are all very similar, long and running in the same direction as though the coin feel on something.
