$77. Thoughts? Thanks!   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 no experienced grader, but I see a good bit of Longacre doubling on the Obverse, especially on "America." Been reading and researching a lot about that lately. Unfortunately, that doesn't add any value, but it's interesting and possibly indicates an early die state. I'll leave the grading and the cleaned/not cleaned judging to my more experienced compatriots. Personally, I like the 3 cent nickels, what an odd denomination.

I really struggle with these because the dies and striking were so bad at times that it's hard to tell wear from strike/die problems.
I would guess somewhere around AU55, though, but that's just a guess.

$77 is Greysheet price (mid-AU) so you did well.
Not often can you get a coin for Greysheet.
And all the ribs are there on the III.
So much the better.
