Can you give me your thoughts on the grade of this Seated Half and your thoughts overall on the coin?   |

The coin does look a bit dull but I think/hope it's just the picture. I think it makes XF-40.

XF-40. Appears to have original surfaces.

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."

I'll offer it 35, and an opinion that the photography doesn't flatter it. I bet it would be a much nicer coin in the hands of a good stick with the camera.

 35 looks right. I'd only go for it if there was a no questions return policy. If it's nicer in hand it would be a great piece. |

Thanks everyone! This coin was graded XF-40 by PCGS. It looked slightly overgraded to me but maybe the coin is nicer than the pics indicate as some mentioned.

Very choice eye appeal. I went for 40, in the end, based on the hair detail. It deserves this grade.

I would have said VF35 right on the line.
