VF also. I would buy at around $110-$125 raw. Slabbed for $130-$140. Better pics for you to decide.   |

No offense Steelers but if you were going to purchase this coin I might as well give my opinion. This coin doesn't excite me. It certainly doesn't have the look of an XF-45 coin which is the grade on the holder. It has several ticks and scratches and just doesn't have much 'life' to it. I'll grade it VF-35 but the scratch under the breast and in the right obverse field would bother me. Maybe it looks better in person. Sorry.

I think it makes xf40
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."

I get the sense that the seller is trying to distract from the coin with the writing on the 2x2. The pen marks are on the plastic also.

Thanks all. I think it is an attractive coin...would $120 be a reasonable offer?
