391940388520Just won this a minute ago for one heck of a price. They sell all day for $20 in VF, and $30-40 in XF. Thought it looked decent. VF-35ish? Full liberty. EDIT: Just noticed the beautiful rev die crack. Score! Edited by CoinHuntingDrew

I'm at vf25-30. Nice pick up for a fin.  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 see at least two reverse die cracks, maybe three. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Solid 25. Note that it is more common to find these dates with die cracks rather than without them.
No die cracks probably indicates an earlier strike with less wear on the dies.

Can't go wrong with that price. Hope there aren't any surprises when you get it in hand.

A really great pick! Only some light scratches on the obverse to distract. I would say VF25 as well. Well done!!

I think the obverse scratches on the neck may be enough to details it. VF-25 details scratched. I'd pay 4.99 for her though. That being said, this is one of my favorite series and know how difficult it is to find nice original examples.

Kind of confused that you were the only bidder and won that real nice VF-25 V-Nickel . I'm just a little concerned that it may have had some kind of light cleaning in its lifetime . Still you slayed it ! congrats .
