Recent pickup. Bit of a ding on obverse rim and the mottled toning make her look dinged up more than she is. The reverse die on these are known for over polished areas, around left lower shield and left viewed leg of the eagle. Thoughts on grade please.   Thanks for looking. |

I cant really tell from the tone on obverse what the details are but from the eagle it looks uncirculated.

This is an very rare coin in any grade. From what I can see, MS-63. This needs to be holdered.

Well, if @frog is right, and he usually is, that's a $6,000+ 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."

Finding one in any condition is challenging; finding one as nice is this is amazing.
Looks at least AU53, can't say on the originality of the surfaces.

lots of little marks on the surfaces both sides. probably a good candidate for conservation. tough call between mid AU and MS. my best guess is that the coin is AU58 less a few points for eye appeal and numerous marks. i'll net it to AU53 maybe 55 to be on the safe side

As always, the feedback is appreciated. I do plan to send this in for grading with others. This will be the only one I'll put through the conservation process.

I'm at AU-58. This is a coin that definitely should be sent to a TPG. Major price differences between grades! |
