I picked up a rather impulse buy about a month ago and wanted to see what the CCF Members had to say in comparison to what PCGS graded her as. Thank you for your interest and comments!    |

AU55 due to muted luster. Beautiful toning on both sides. Looks like original lightly circulated surfaces. Great die clashing. Failing late state dies. A beauty and I bet it wasn't cheap. Congrats on a great impulse decision.  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."

That's a sweet coin. Cracked die, clashed die, and toning  . I can see why the impulse buy. Have no idea on grade though  |

What a great coin. I guess XF 45. If you have to have an impulse that is the one to have. No stars is my favorite design

She a beauty except for the marking around her nose area?
With all the other feature mentioned, I would of pick her up if I have the chance also.
Could be the enlarged photo, but I think this will grade AU-58.

Surprisingly nice strike for a pair of late state jigsaw dies.
Only the slightest hint of rub, so AU-58. This coin has so much going for it. Smart of you to listen to your coin buying spidy sense.

Great coin. I'd have bought it just for the die cracks and clash marks.
