I'll start with XF-45, forgiving the small hits - one in the hair and 2 on the reverse.

I too think EF45 on this one, could see it AU50 or 53 possibly from them as well. It has nice protected areas of original luster peaking through it seems.

Luster appears to be subdued.. possibly due to toning. I will say AU50.
Nice coin!

somewhere between XF40 and XF45. I'm going to go with XF45 due to the overall look of the coin. nice color

AU53 for me. Nice surfaces on 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'll say EF-45, most attractive.

someone is way off ha!  it was ANACS who was way off! i think this one would stab at 45 today with a decent shot of hitting 50. there is minimal wear and it has some nice frosty bits in the protected areas on the obverse. my eac grade is 35 net 30. the worst problems are the two digs on the back which were noted earlier. the thing in the hair above the R is interesting. its not a dig or dent. I think the coin is touching the plastic. so I gess that means that spot is the result of something like blue ribbon interacting with the plastic from the slab. that spot is a bit of a shame. I'm going to eventually break the coin out of the slab to address it. I dont want to take the coin out of this slab. this coin is perfect for demonstrating the value of grading for yourself. on coinfacts a 30 is $275 and a 50 is $850. |
