More adventures in budget collecting. I'd guess the mottled appearance helped lower the price a little, without creating too awful a distraction. It's early but not at all rare, with the third-highest mintage of any Half Cent. This variety is slightly less common but still nothing extraordinary. Another great coin for the downwardly mobile numismatist, I think. What say you?   |

Cohen-10 variety The most common non spiked chin. I'd say it's a nice high end VF 30 or 35 as well a bit of old staining and light porosity shouldn't make a details grade I'd say a straight grade too.
PCGS is usually pretty high and in my opinion usually over grades on early copper, so I won't be surprised if they grade it as high as an EF45.

Nice looker
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."
