ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1662 Posts	Posted 07/11/2017 2:20 pm Can't really tell much from those pics. If you're looking to buy this coin based on these photos alone, I'd pass. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/11/2017 2:40 pm Looks like a pretty nice VF35. The obverse darkness is not my cup of tea but if you like it... ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11899 Posts	Posted 07/11/2017 2:57 pm Looks a little weak in the talons, eagles legs, leaves and arrowheads. That area is often weak. Obverse looks better. I look for well struck stars that show some splits and don't look all flat. Agree high vf. 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."

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/11/2017 3:17 pm with 35, but I'd pass on the coin myself because of the photos. It is rare for great coins to arrive from bad photos. It happens, but not often. Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 07/11/2017 10:37 pm Yeah this reminds me of another coin a fellow member recently got screwed over on. If the pics don't make the cut, take a pass. Report this Post to the Staff
