Thanks to my dear friend Russ (Twohawks), I sealed the deal on this 1878 Twenty Cent Piece Proof. It's free from an old fatty NGC PF64 prison and soon to head to PCGS for a new minimum security prison. Thoughts as to final grade it will receive? BTW, the obverse lines are polishing lines and not scratches. PG   |

pr64. a beauty.  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."

will revise my opinion to pr64 cameo.

It looks like it could make PR-65.

Proof 65, I agree, but reverse looks CAM, obverse does not?
