Looking at this one. Seller's pics not great - I had to brighten them up some.   |

Nice AU58. Lovely copper, the color, the fields, etc - everything is high quality.

Great eye appeal. I bet some VerdiCare would make it look even nicer.I wonder what BadThad thinks. John1  |

I'm not seeing any signs of circulation. the first places I look are at the bottom of the bust under the neck. I don't see anything there. the bottom curl...nothing. high points of the ear and hair around it. again nothing and the cheek. don't see any rub or signs there either. could it be shadowing from the lighting. sure. the reverse strike is solid and nothing stands out on the high points of the leaves that would lead be to believe it was circulated. maybe if the coin was not in the holder it would show something.
I'm going with MS62BN

Nice looking coin! Hard to judge from pics alone but I don't see any wear either. I suppose I am in the MS 62 camp as well. Even at AU 58, I would be pleased to add this one to my collection.

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 generally think ANACS overgrades somewhat, but in this case I think it's pretty close. Might even make MS-63 BN, but I'm leaving well enough alone. Very happy with this one.

I'm the one you outbid for this coin. I knew I should have gone a little higher. :-)
