This is a VAM-12 Alligator Eye I believe. Your thoughts on a grade are much appreciated.   |

Beautiful coin. Might make 64, but that gouge under the eye is pretty nasty.

First glance was 62 but it may make 63 if some of the disturbances are more artifacts of the lighting. The reverse looks semi proof-like.
VAM-12 may actually be less common than the clashed version, VAM-12A based on the SSDC registry census.

64. Beauty
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'd say 64, too. Cheek is pretty scuffed up but the field and rev are clean. BTW, that is one excellent job of photography- esp, since it needs to come in under 300 kb.

...that is one excellent job of photography- esp, since it needs to come in under 300 kb. I was wondering about the photos as well. Typically, I'll right click on a photo and save it to my desktop so that I can enlarge it to look at more closely. Normally, the photos save as .jpg files at less than 300 KByte in size. These photos save as .png files that are more than 3.5 MByte in size. That explains why they are such good photos, but how did you get them uploaded? |

It might make it to 64 from the eye appeal!
Nice coin.
