Any chance you can sharpen and enlarge these images? They're too soft to see the surface details clearly.

I'm at VG-10 but I wouldn't be surprised at F-12. Looks like at least 2/3 hair detail is visible. Nice type coin!

Sorry about the pictures.
I'll try to take better pictures when I have the coin in hand.
Also curious as to which Sheldon variety.

VG8 really close to VG10, uneven strike noted obv K2-K5 and rev K12-K4
nice planchet and chocolate color. tough to tell due to small photos are clarity but it looks like the first hair style

Nice coin. Tentatively add me to the VG-08 camp. I agree with @Coinfrog, the seller's pics don't give a good feel for the surface conditions.

VG-10 but I think this one has environmental damage. VG-10 details, ED.

 VG10 Details, ED, notable porosity throughout. Regardless a good looking example even with the ED |

vg8 and agree the coin's surface looks slightly porous but not too bad
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."

although it does have some light porosity this probably was on the original planchet before it was minted. so it begs the question how does a TPG see ED if it occurred prior to minting? my thought is if its prior to striking then it left the mint in its original condition and should not receive a details designation. the photos are small and out of focus so it is difficult to see how much is there. |
