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."

Uneven reverse wear troubles me, like maybe there's a problem here.

Yes textbook VG-10 but would not be shocked if they graded it F-12. I believe the reverse strike suffers from a Grease Filled Die. |

I was thinking it might make F-12.

I'm saying it's an F-12 too.  |

I imagine that PCGS graded as a Fine-12, but my grade would be VG-8.

VG8 for me, I won't deign to honor coins without fully visible LIBERTY with anything higher than a VG10.

Pretty much all got it or were close. I fully agree with the VG10. It's got decent feather detail and the tops of most of Liberty is visible. There are only two known reverse dies for this variety. This is the much rarer of the two, the S1a. Snow states that Grease Filled Dies was a common problem for this variety, typically on the reverse, which is what is going on with this coin. That was the main reason for the grading challenge. Thanks for participating   |
