What do you grade this one at? Specs on the reverse concerning?   |

Boy that's tough. I'll say AU-55, shot 58. Nice coin.

Is the coin really that dark? AU-50-ish

55, possible 58.
Love the circulation cameo. I like this one, even dark.

Lightly struck on lower reverse and corresponding upper obverse, down to bust area. Otherwise it pops for me.

au53-55. looks to have remaining luster.
not my favorite toning. I prefer colorful to dark. at this stage, this coin is only getting darker over time.
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."

AU55 or so on very dark toned surfaces. Very nice coin indeed.  Quote:
Love the circulation cameo. Agree to a limited extent ... the best of circulation cameo coins IMHO have a much sharper contrast between the portraits and fields. I should (and will someday) show my VG 1877-CC Liberty Seated Half with circulation cameo. |

That's more like it! That's a dark pic. When you put that under light you should see red, blue and yellow overtones especially on the reverse. The spots will compliment the toning. Make sure you have return privileges but that coin looks great based on poor pics. au-50.

Thanks for all the opinions! I managed to purchase this coin. Will post some pics in hand when I can. From the pics you can see slight toning reds (like Mike F mentioned). Done with the Half dollar portion of the 7070 finally. Time to upgrade my Standing Liberty quarters ... Edited by Steelers72

Are there pinholes or porosity on Liberty's legs? If these pics were taken in low light conditions then the eye appeal might be pretty good. If there's already a lot of light on the coin then it will be black.

I suck at grading them and don't look at very many so I won't be much help. I only have one high end example in my collection. It definitely has character,though:   |

BH- when I get this in hand I will take better pics. No clue right now
Thanks Mike! Will keep this posted soon. Youve helped me a bunch as it is so no worries at all! They are a tough type to grade. Your example is absolutely phenomenal so tough to find them with color. I can only hope to find an slq as nice as yours!
