Most of my collection is not encapsulated, but I do own a few which have been graded. This is one of them. How do you think PCGS graded this draped but dollar? Apologies for the sub par-pictures - slabs are devilishly difficult to photograph (for me)  |

Color me green with envy!  Beautiful dollar, reverse is a bit weak, but a really nice obverse. I'm at VF-20. |

My first impression was VF so I'll stick with VF20.

F12. Nice looking coin.
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."

VF 25 is my guess / opinion ... age and rarity generally have a bit of an influence (on the high side)

Well, those who graded it VG10 have it exactly right. PCGS VG10.
I find it interesting that quite a few opinions graded it higher. Maybe the coin looks that way on first inspection? but on closer examination it is a high end VG.
Either way, I am very happy to have it.

I think the coin is under graded   6 graded it VF range 3 graded it F range 2 graded it VG range |

Thank you, panzaldi, Quote:

6 graded it VF range
3 graded it F range
2 graded it VG range I hope you guys are correct. I bought this coin in 2007, and have no idea how long before that it was submitted to PCGS. Could it be that grading standards have changed (that much) in the intervening years? Edited by GERMANICVS

I would have said VG too, but I also don't take into consideration weak strikes, honestly because I don't know any better. But I would expect that PCGS does indeed know better. It's a beautiful coin.
