Thoughts on grade and problems?   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."

Looks like a nice 64, however there are some hairlines that have me concerned especially on the obverse near 6 o clock and 5 o'clock. The reverse also at 11 o'clock. Above average strike. Better pictures perhaps at an angle would greatly help. For know I reserve my judgement to unc details cleaned until I can further determine original or not.

Looks at least MS 64. 21's were notorious for the weak obverse strike resulting in the flat details on the high points of the hair. Those lines look pretty much like die polishing lines as they are on the fields and don't seem to go over the devices.  Edited by Mark1959

Easy 64. 65 would not be impossible. About 60% strike, which is a bit better than most. Looks uncleaned, but it really needs an in hand tilt to determine luster.

You know the 1927 has mintage of less than one million and you can get MS64 for $100 less at least.

I've seen this coin on ebay. I don't agree that it's a 67 |
