This one has a nice toning and patina to it. Do you like it? What do you think it graded? Thanks for all help!   |

Strike on the shield appears weak, but I'm guessing 65FH. Beautiful example.

MS64 ,considering the nicks on the Cheek,right Leg and Neck and the recent generous PCGS grading. Very nice coin  |

it's a GTG battle royal.
I wish the field luster wasn't masked as I really use those for separating unc from circ.
I don't see this circulated.
So 64. Obviously this is PCGS so it might get a FH.
You wouldn't get a FH on this one from NGC.

Far from a quarter expert, but I'd have Tom say the reverse is an over polished die or a weak strike. Usually the high points wear first, and it's looks like there's a deep dip in the eagle's wing.
Obverse: 65
Reverse 63
Net: 64

Small flaws are often forgiven on attractively toned coins.

Oh here we go. SLQs always create mayhem in the grading section. I'll say au-58

looks ms but the left side of the reverse is weakly struck. this is severe on the wing on the left side of the coin. I would look for a better struck example.
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."
