Hi Guys, Recent purchase here, was wondering thoughts on possible grades:   Also, if you're feeling brave, what would you expect one would pay for the coin above in the condition as-photographed (option extra). Thanks for looking  |

I'm at 64. Channel in center band looks to have a blockage in the middle. It's close. Nice strike and surfaces.
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."

MS-64 FSB , But I think the obverse was cleaned of most of that black oxidation . If I'm correct then it's a details coin .  |

That's not what I expected when I opened this thread...

MS-62 FB-$350
MS-63 FB-$575
MS-64 FB-$790
MS-65 FB-$1,340

It does appeared to be cleaned or dipped, but some luster remained. I am going to say MS-62 FB detail.

MS64 but I think it may get dinged a point for the obverse

Agree. Likely, and only partly successfully, dipped.

Thanks, was thinking the 63/64 range. Set me back 300us so hopefully PCGS see it the same way!
