Hello, Strike looks pretty strong to me. Fields have marks but are dark and reflective. VAM Attributes: Not exactly sure what VAM it is but there's definitely a die gouge at bottom inside of the eagle's right wing (your left) and short spike on the side of the eagle's right leg. Possible doubling on date and "W" of "We" (reverse). I'm thinking VAM-57 but I found additional attributes. Your grading and VAM opinions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,       |

I'm not sure if the disturbance in the fields is from bag storage but AU58 slider if very lightly circulated or MS61 if just bag contact marks and it does appear to be a VAM-57.

agree 61. nicely struck for an no mint issue. 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."

there are some issues of NO's that have average or even above average strikes. the 1880 is one of those. I have this one at MS61. she's a little banged up but I'm not seeing any signs of circulation

Really a shame she had such a rough time in the bag since that is a really nice NO strike and looks almost semi-proof like in one of the photo's.
