Recent pickup. Will post more pictures in hand but I like the apparent strong strike on both the obverse shield and the reverse split stars. Thoughts?   |

I've been looking at the slightly fuzzy reverse photo for 5 minutes daydreaming  Super nice  It looks like PR65 with my untrained eyes. |

Definitely looks MS but having a hard time with the pics. Will throw a MS64 until better photos.

I'd gove it a PR64.5 until we get a better reverse pic.

tough one as the pics are a little blurry making it difficult to see the surfaces accurately. it does appear to be rounded rims and some minor flaws on the rims so I'm going with MS64 without better pics. in any case this is really nicely struck piece and anyone would be happy to have it in their collection

Other than MS, I can't see it well enough to grade.

All I can say with the current pics is that it is either uncirculated or a proof. Better  |

I'll reserve my opinion for your photos.

This is an example of buying the holder and not the coin. There is nothing in the pictures that alows for an accurate evaluation of the coin. It could be AU cleaned or MS-65.

I don't think it's a proof strike but looks to have nice fields on the obv though not so nice on the rev. Looks to have wear on the rev, so I'm going with an AU-58. Probably a litter higher but do put up new pics when you get it.

looks ms64 or better. nice strike and looks like clean fields. look forward to seeing in hand pictures. 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."
