My first coin up for your grading input. I have several 1907-Os and I've noticed lots of die cracks, including on this coin around the designer's mark. This particular coin has "Andromeda Strain" like verdigris around the upper left obverse rim area, but I'm not cleaning these girls. The pics are 1600 px wide, should I scale them down to 1200 px?   |

MS62/63. Seems like some PVC on the reverse , mostly near "ica" in America. I still love the coin though  |

No hint of cleaning or dipping, which in itself is miraculous. The PVC is significant enough that it would probably detail at Uncirculated, Environmental Damage. If it wasn't significant enough to kick it into details, it would go 63. Although there is many very light marks on the obverse, none of them, by themselves, are distracting.

62. looks wiped on the cheek and neck. probably market acceptable, but I would pass on a coin with so many wipe marks.
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."

Lots of chatter on the cheek and neck. I'll say good possibility it's AU-58.

MS 61 if you gently swab it with a q-tip dipped in acetone.

No hint of cleaning or dipping  , I don't think that small amount of verdigris is a problem for this coin. The scratchy face is a deal killer for me . AU-58/60 .  |
