Picked up three Half Dimes. This one is the third. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!   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."

Yikes. The photos are way too blurry to give an accurate grade.

Received this today. Grade and problems?

Looks AU+ and possibly low MS but the resolution is not good for picking up fine details. I see no problems of note.

The picture was taken with the coin in a 2x2. Thinking I may have to take it out for pics. Thanks.

Hopefully these pics are a little better.

AU-50 with possible rim damage or planchet flaw.

Nice Half Dime. AU53-55 sounds good. The gouge across the leg probably isn't that noticeable in-hand. |
