CollegeBarbers Pillar of the Community United States 2632 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 1:19 pm I'm thinking this is a weak strike, which occurs relatively often for 1916 according to Q. David Bowers. I will say AU-55. ANA and IBNS member YouTube channel 7070 type set Walking Liberty set Want list Trade list Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 3:26 pm Slightest rub at high points looks 55. Lovely mellow uncleaned surfaces. Even for common dates, Barber quarters maintain sufficient interest to make those no problem almost uncirculated examples desirable. Nice snatch. Congratulations. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11914 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 7:47 pm 53/55-. I see significant rub on eagle's head, neck, wings, tips, and right talon. The shield is weakly struck and has little detail. Obverse has lots of hits and shows faint wipe marks. Market acceptable. Lots of luster, and attractive eye appeal. 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."

JJuliano Pillar of the Community United States 705 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 5:34 pm This has been graded at AU55 by ANACS. It is currently being offered by the seller for $155(or BO) plus $9.00 shipping/handling. I feel this is overpriced especially with the shipping fees. I have made a couple of offers(up to $135 w/o shipping) but they have been declined. Numismedia has FMV @ $150. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 6:11 pm Wait for another one. This one is too high for a coin with low eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
