Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 3:10 pm Well, I know how PCGS graded this. I believe it was way undergraded and would like to know your thoughts. I need help with the variety as I have no idea at this point what it is. These pics are a bit blurred, I hope they give you enough info. If not I can try to snap more but I never do a great job so see if you can do it with these... Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 4:06 pm Au58 with great eye appeal. Nice coin. 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."

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 5:24 pm AU-55 - I suspect the toning bumps up the value considerably. Edited by Joe2007 01/15/2018 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 9:28 pm PCGS gave it a 53 but it thas much more detail then my 55. I personally think its way undergraded and deserves 58 with all the luster. I think if it got a bean it would be a gold one but who knows. Report this Post to the Staff
Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 10:14 pm I would have gone with AU-55 also. I love the rim toning! Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5676 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 10:19 pm Agree that 53 may be a bit low. A real beauty! Report this Post to the Staff
Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 11:22 pm Also despite the photos the surface of this coin look almost untouched. Cleanest skin of my four busts Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 08:57 am I would grade her AU58 for just a touch of rub on the hair over the ear. Beautiful coin! @Jon Brand, I noticed that you revealed the grade after only six hours? I normally leave a 48 hour window so that others may be able to participate before disclosing the TPG results. But, it's your thread, do as you wish. Edited by oih82w8 01/16/2018 09:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 2:09 pm Not sure why I still cant succesfully insert quotes.. but this was in regards to oih82w8's post. Haha, yeah I definatly jumped the gun on this one. I noticed way to often the OPs dont ever reveal the grades in this subforum and just dissapear. I find that frustrating. I wanted to make sure I could get opinions on PCGS's grade before this thread fades away. I am not sure what to do with this coin but I think something should be done incase I need to sell, like regrading or sending to CAC. I have a NGC membership but would prefer to keep this one in PCGS. Next time I will wait at least a day or two before revealing! Edited by Jon Brand 01/16/2018 2:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
