I just bought this little gal online for $67 dollars, I should have her next week. Thoughts on a details grade? The reverse is not too shabby; however, the scratch on the obverse ,which underlines Liberty and the stars on the right, is upsetting  I have this coin tentatively noted as Overton 117 pointed 6 wth stem. What are your thoughts? How did I do on this purchase? http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/39320   |

VF details scratched and damaged. Great buy for $67.  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 think this would pull of a Genuine grade. The obverse and reverse have very different conflicting details.

Studying the past coin auctions for this Overton it seems that the obverse is very mushy with a stronger reverse. here's one that graded VG 10 by PCGS  Edited by Buckwill311

Regardless of grade, it's damaged, which you know. If $67 is what you have to spend on this type, that is justified.
If you continue to grow with your collection there may come a time when this will have to go.

Good comparison. Price was OK (not a bargain, to me) for a defaced coin. If you're happy with it, that's what matters.

https://coins.ha.com/itm/early-half...Lot=1x=0&y=0Ok after a little more research I think it's Overton 117a I'm not too sure what the significance of the "a" is however all I know is that this coin looks exactly like the one listed in this auction unfortunately there's only one other coin to compare it to. Yes I'm happy with it, I do not have one of these and on ebay they wanted $100+ for coins that are a lot worse than this one. It will hold me over until I can afford a nicer one.

From your additional comments you are approaching the challenge of nailing down a few older coins. Best of luck to you finding what you like.

It's a good buy for $67 IMHO. As members mentioned, if YOU are happy, then I don't have one, but I'm lookin~~ |
