with this coin all I need to finish out my 1878s are the 8 tail feather and the CC. Opinions please? Thank you, Blair   I know the photo isn't as clear as I would like it but would you consider this strong or weak? |

I'm not sure if it's considered strong or weak but it's a VAM-39A in at least mid AU condition. I can't really tell for sure if it's original surfaces however.

Thank you so much Dave! I hadn't even begun to try to figure out the VAM yet. |

High AU, perhaps MS but pics are too small for a good look. Very attractive.

unc details cleaned
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."

Thanks again everyone! It doesn't look as "Hazy" in hand as it does in the photos. I may need to clean the lens of my camera phone.

I was not at all happy with the way the photos looked in the thread so I went back and cleaned my lens, used a piece of true white paper in the photo to make sure the white balance was right and did no post adjustment except to crop. Hopefully these are truer to the coin in hand.   |
