Picked up a few today. Thought on grade and problems? TPG in 48. Thanks!

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."

XF45, interesting rim Cuds, clashing, and a major die crack with field displacement on the obverse. The color is not for me. The reverse has a rim bruise at K3 not related to the die state.

Got this for a little over 2 benjamins, so I was very happy. The rim ding bothered me, but I got over it. I am a sucker for a FE with a struck up chest.

That slab grade is why I try to buy my higher end FEC's & IHC's only from EERC. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |
