numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 8:20 pm $145. 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."

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2958 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 8:40 pm I think I see an MS-64/65 here So to me, $145 is really a cheap pickup considering retail is at least $600 to $850 for the slant 5 in date. Edited by mrwhatisit 06/12/2022 8:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 9:08 pm I can see an MS63RB from a TPG as an EAC grade? Maybe AU55. I could also see this going details for an old cleaning potentially the reverse is much worse the the obverse, I see signs of possible spot removal and dome discoloration in the remaining luster on the fields that leads me to think it was messed with at one point. What is the lines of dots on the reverse? damage or something else? I've never seen anything like that on a coin before. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 11:22 pm I'm not sold on it being UNC, with that reverse. Spot detracts for me. AU58/MS62 tops Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18700 Posts	Posted 06/13/2022 08:35 am if there was a cleaning I'm thinking market acceptable. I'm going with MS62 maybe 63. rotating the coin will give a better idea if any of the original surfaces have been altered. if this was circulated it was for like 10 min. as I'm not seeing anything that would point me in that direction. right on the cusp of RB but I'm going with BN on this one. the marks on the reverse look incused so again this is one for an in-hand inspection Report this Post to the Staff
