As asked I'm posting all my inherited coins as separate threads for grading. Also, I'm not a coin collector, so it would be helpful if I could get a dollar amount estimate to go along with the grade.   |

The 1799 draped bust dollar has the heraldic eagle reverse and also grades about very fine 35. It is worth about $2,800 and can bring more in the right setting. It is very original and in demand by collectors.
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."

Very nice VF-30 coin. He sure had a good eye for nice coins. Too bad you can't keep this set intact.

I agree with high VF.
But those staples really need to go. They are too close to the coin for comfort.

My guess is those staples have been there since the 1960's.

The soft reverse strike makes this one a bit tough to grade. The obverse is at least VF-30, and very close to VF-35. The reverse is at least VF-25, adjusting for the strike. IMHO, this nets to VF-30. I agree with @Coinfrog, this one is choice for that grade.

I can't add anymore than everyone else hasn't already added. Just wanted to put myself down in agreement with the VF-30 crowd.
