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."

what did you pay for it - with and w/o ebucks? it is a nice xf. some au sharpness but the stars aren't split and the luster isn't strong, especially given the toning. I like the toning but would prefer luster.

$320 after a $106 discount? You must mean $320-$106 = $214 for it right?

i'd say $250 is a fair price for this. If you got it for $216 that is ok, but the problem is that I consider $106 in ebucks same as cash because I buy a lot on ebay. In my view, $320 is high and would not pay that, but if you are happy, that's what counts. I like chasing a good deal, but that is secondary to being happy. Hope this helps.

Cost aside it seems like a nice coin to me...better than original pics portrayed it imo.

Thanks guys. The coin was listed at $420 bid. I won the auction and then the ebay bucks deducted. Pics were hazy but I had a feeling it would look nicer and it does. I have searched all over for original 20 cent pieces, and for the grade, it was the lowest Ive seen. The others I had posted on here were pretty much the same grade (straight graded with scratches, some maybe a grade point +/-) and they were listed at $500+ While this one looks much nicer. Maybe not a steal per say, but from what ive seen it is not too bad. Thanks for all your help. Once the draped large cent arrives I will have completed my type set which I will post on here. Hugely thanks to all of your help!! Edited by Steelers72

I agree it looks very nice in your images and the AU53 grade seems fair. Certainly the $320 you ended up paying was a good price too. |
