I posted this one two months ago I got mixed reviews. I'll post it again, but this time it's against PCGS -- Just got back the grade on it today. I'll reveal in a day or so.  |

I'll lead with 65 or better, beautiful coin.

 . Solid 65. Strange but natural fruit bowl toning. |

Seems like a light strike and because it's PCGS I'll go 64.

I remember the older thread of this coin, and I am still thinking AU-58 from those pictures.

Nice cheek but I don't see the luster. AU55-58.
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."

This coin is Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde -- beautiful toning and color, terrible strike. If it got into a MS grade, MS62 (PCGS does not use + for color like NGC, and even if they did, the strike would kill it anywhow.)

Really funky patina/toning. Technically, I think MS63 due to marks on the cheek? Perhaps an eye appeal will bring it down to 62, depends on what the TPG grader ate for lunch. A steak, then 63. Beans, 62. |

Thanks for playing everyone. This one went MS64+ at PCGS. I expected 63 tops on it... so it was quite a surprise.
