I've been going through some coins I haven't looked at in years. Too bad on the reverse damage... Anyone care to grade this one? Rick  |

A coin of this magnitude and level of wear would likely land in a problem-free holder as a VF-35 or so.

I'm 50/50 on if this will straight grade. First off it has an old cleaning as noted, there are 2 big gashes on the reverse (the neck and right wing), the obverse has 2 scratches by the jaw and the bottom of the hair near the ear. Gradewise its vf30/35. It's a toss up, is it worth gambling on and sending in to get graded. The short answer is YES. They are quite valuable when they hit VF and up.

This one is worth the gamble of a TPG fee. It should certainly make VF at the minimum. It's just a guess if it will make it through without details. |

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."
