How about a piece of large copper for this round of GTG? What does the CCF forum members have to say in comparison to PCGS? For an extra 50 points, which means absolutely nothing, take a guess at the variety number as well. Thank you for your interest and comments!    |

Wow. Toughie. It looks lacquered in these images. Terrific coin, and I refuse to determine between Mint State and circulated (  ) - there are a couple little hints of circulation at the tip of the bust and on some of the leaves. If PCGS adjudicated it Mint State, it's an easy 63 with a shot at better. AU58 if not. N-6. |

it's a hands down 65 in my book. I know it probably got Brown only, but it's tempting to call it RB.

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."

Would the green verdigris spots not have an effect on the grade? Or at least the value?

MS63BN Short bar from point of bust, looks like an N-6.

I would guess it's MS63BN unless you're working on an Everyman type set, then I'll say beautiful AU58.  Edited by dave700x
