She looks pretty angry, and you can't blame her. It wasn't just because her eagle rotated itself 15 degrees. Liberty -- like most of Congress -- was counting on the re-charter of the First Bank of the United States in 1810, but then Vice-President George Clinton goes and torpedoes the idea. Suddenly the market is flooded with treasury receipts that came due at the end of the bank's charter, reducing the purchasing value of silver and fueling inflation. What say you?

A little weak in the center but I think it makes VF20. Lovely surfaces.
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 agree with VF-20, otherwise not sure what you're talking about.

I'd agree with VF-20, that was my first thought. Surfaces certainly are not original but they probably are market acceptable.

uneven strike and weakness in areas. one thing I'm learning about these is that TPG's rarely if ever take into consideration strike on them. normally I would grade this VF25 but I'm dropping it a grade due the strike. I'm betting they gave it a VF20 |

All of you are spot on, as usual. Quote:
