This may be my favorite coin in my collection. This half dollar has been passed down through my family as was supposedly taken out of circulation. Not my highest value coin but certainly the most sentimental. This was previously shown in http://goccf.com/t/380752, however not properly attributed.  |

This coin looks much better than an AU-53 on PCGS site.

Your history of the coin seems more important IMO than the grade. I'm curious for your PCGS reveal!

45 with exceptional eye appeal.  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 that PCGS graded it XF-40. I would personally put it at XF-45 if I were grading it.

This one was PCGS XF-40. That is what I was expecting. I thought it may have a chance at 45, but so be it.
