numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 3:56 pm $282. Thoughts? Thanks! 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."

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 4:10 pm Slightly streaky planchet (I like 'em that way) Very sharp strike Slider Unc Details if those are hairlines on the reverse and the luster is flat like in the pics - left front leg and area under Buffalo is my main concern there; or if they are just cabinet rub, roll rub or light circulation wear then low end Unc maybe?. I don't know how to grade these well enough to be confident at all!

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3663 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 10:05 pm Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Matching EDS dies No observable die clashing, and no observable clash polishing. From the overall die polishing in the fields, I'm guessing this was a pretty early strike from the die pair. High grade (more on that below) Strong strike for the date (full rachis on the first and second feathers, though a bit soft on the first feather, and a full calamus on the second feather). Notice the exceptional clarity on LIBERTY and EPU. The 1919-S is one of many early dates known for mismatched die pairings. This coin is a really nice example for the date. I'd jump at this over an ugly UNC any day. It's a bit of a condition scarcity (not quite rarity) EF and higher. Light wear on the usual high spots. Some evidence of an old wiping, market acceptable. I'm at AU-55, and definitely the high end for the grade. IMHO, this one snags a bean. You did very well here. You snagged this at barely an EF price, and with this strike and appearance, it should bump the slider/low UNC price envelope. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 10:34 pm Can't add much more than FC on this one! But seriously, look at LIBERTY! The way it should look, sharp and defined, no signs of deterioration! I will have to go with a details grade though. Those hairlines will hold it to AU-55 Details in my book, but one I wouldn't mind having for sure! Report this Post to the Staff
