Considering this one from a friend. Not appealing at first, but starting to like it.   |

Hmm? If you are looking for a grade, maybe MS 61. I personally dislike the toning. Look for a PL 1880 S.

I'm thinking closer to 63 and if you can get it for a decent price why not? It's certainly not an added value toning but it sort of looks like a purple haze...

63. could be PL
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."

63. But please remember this date and mint mark are one of the most common of all in high mint state grades. A 63 for this is pretty low.

Barely made 63 IMO from the photos.
Perhaps bit better on hand?

I am not sure of the cause of the reverse toning. The reverse is a true haze, but when tilted slightly it has 4 colors minimum. The un-toned portion of the reverse I have seen only one other time at a resent show. The obverse has PL qualities, but a bit too much noise in the left field. I will pick this one up tomorrow for a fair price and put it into the oddity category. Thanks all, AG.   |
