I don't believe that I have shown this one to the CCF. I just wanted to see what you thought of her in comparison to PCGS in another round of "Guess The Grade" (GTG).

For fifty bonus points, which don't count towards anything, you can take a shot at the variety as well.

Thank you for your interest and comments!

I'm seeing the very slightest hint of circulation rub at the high points, particularly on the obverse. But I also know that even with a strong strike, which this has, the second hair curl and cap delineation might not fully strike.

Luster in fields is unbroken which pushes me away from an AU slider into the Mint State range. Lovely original skin.

MS-65, and entirely tasty.

Au55. Nice detail but lacks luster.
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."

Slightly mishandled perhaps, luster does not pop to me. I'll say 64.

I will go with AU-58. I think there is a bit of wear on the breast.

Some of these Seated varieties are kinda obscure. I found this one a little while back from a Florida dealer and their image was just good enough to take a take a chance on, and sure enough, F-119.

Comments: Obverse 18 can be easily diagnosed by an extra 1 digit punch in the shield. The flag of a 1 digit is clearly visible between shield lines #8 and #9.
