They don't bother as much as the three bird turds in the center reverse field. What does PCGS say? Report this Post to the Staff

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."

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 12/09/2021 07:53 am Another series I only have a few specimens of and not real familiar with. Is this what they call Matte Proof? Certainly the luster in the fields look like they cartwheel and not mirror like. I would have pegged it for a MS coin from my first glance at the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
