numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11894 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 1:49 pm I thought I would post some coins that I bid on but did not win. Bid $616, sold for $626. Thoughts? Thanks! I probably should have bid higher for this one. I liked it but it was a late snipe fest for 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."

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 3:06 pm XF details, cleaned, rim damage, scratches I believe the left and right obverse fields and the reverse field above the right wing gap may have been polished or tooled to try to clean up the surfaces. That entire area in the left obverse field (left of Liberty's right arm) is highly suspect.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 8:05 pm I have been looking for a Double Dime 20 Cents VF or better for some years; apparently they are very scarce no matter which country you happen to live in. Lots of collectors are on the lookout for an example, and there are not enough for them all. That would explain the high price. Nevertheless, IMO, with regard to above grading opinions, you are lucky enough in this case to be an unsuccessful bidder. NS:- After viewing some of your other coins here in the CCF, I think you would be more satisfied with a higher graded example Report this Post to the Staff
luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 8:42 pm Just my 2 cents worth, the coin is a problem coin there are enough graded examples available through the more reputable online auction houses that pop up more frequently than expected. Have owned the 1875 P 75 CC 75 S and 76 both in details and original condition. In my experience selling details graded doubledimes bring about 55% value of a non details example they were coins I shouldn't have bought and regretted it the original examples brought a nice premium. For a good looking XF - AU example expect to pay a premium over price guidelines there's enough of them out there where every 3-4 months they come up. Rare scarce etc. but enough survive to meet demand I was buying these at 4-5 hundred bucks back in 2018 they have appre iated nicely. Check out the populations report on the sleeper 1876 business strike, better coin i.m.o. than the 75 CC just not as hyped. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 08:46 am some good comments here. the only thing i'll add is that the coin looks like it was improperly stored. old cleaning. lots of field issues. these are not easy to find nice examples in the higher grades but this is one you should not kick yourself in the butt for not getting.
