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."

It's nicer than a lot of what I've seen for sale on e-bay. Whether it's VG or less might depend on the rims. They are a little weak, so I would wait to hear from a more knowledgeable member.

The dies were horribly overused striking the 52s. You see - even at this level of wear - signs of Progressive Indirect Die Transfer (PIDT). PIDT happens when the elements of the design transfer between the obverse and reverse dies thought the planchet. For example on the reverse, you can clearly see some of the obverse star inside the C. Unfortunately, you are more looking at an AG3 obverse (because of the rim wearing away into the lettering). The reverse is nicer, but that's what the grading standards say. https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/#/3CentSil/Grades-----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

Thanks guys. I will pay more attention to the rims going forward.

G-04, I think there's enough obverse there.

It's a good buy for 15.50. Reverse look VG-8 while the Obverse looks G-4. Original!
