I was thinking low vf also. The coin sold for $14 or so with shipping had much more of a color problem. Obvious cleaning. I don't think the one I posted looked as bad. Numismedia has this year at $78 in vf-20 so $29 didn't seem like too far a stretch.

thats fair. 1/2 price then. to me they are pretty comparable. you didnt get robbed at 29 but it isn't an $80 coin in my opinion.

agreed. $80 would be way too high. The coin you sold went for a lower price than I would have thought too.

i thought so too. I had it up for a month or so buy it now @ 25 or best offer. it got no interest so I sent it to auction. it sold to an EAC dealer I know so I guess he thought it was worth more than that too.
yours may be a better variety too. N-4 is common. I dread attributing 1838s so I havent tried to figure yours out.

I know what you mean about trying to attribute these. I have the Wright book but am not good at using it.

I was thinking vf30 for this one.
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."

I'm at F15 I thought higher at first but after looking at a few other similar coins, I convinced myself to lower the grade, it is a really nice looking coin with nary any real issues and it's got decent color and appeal, so That might just push it to a low VF20. It was a good price I think.
