obv vf35 rev vf25 net vf30 Obverse is nicely detailed and the raised LIBERTY on shield is almost all there. Reverse has an eagle that shows a lot of wear, especially in the breast area. To me one of the few stunning features of this coin is the beautiful feather plumage on the eagle. This coin doesn't have that and the feather detail looks worn down smooth in the breast. Sort of kills it for me. This coin is a Barber design, so appropriate for the Barberman.  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."

I can't think of a thing to disagree with in the previous post, except that mt overall opinion may be more favorable than his(hers?). VF30 is what the slab ought to say. |

I agree with the VF30 grade and all the comments that NumismaticStudent made.

I really liked this coin as a mid-level VF, probably a 30. The reverse is lightly struck, as is typical of this CC. It's hard to find them with a fully struck reverse, although they do appear now and again.
I wouldn't mind this in my collection if the price was modest.

I think this is an easy VF-35 based on the detail in the hair, face, gown, etc. I think it's an attractive coin that would be more than welcome in chesterb's collection of fine numismatic material.

VF-35. Nice coin! Little pin scratch on the slab left of the head should buff out.

VF-35 sounds right to me as well.

Straight VF35, very attractive original example.

Is that wobbly line from mouth to rim a scratch?
