Bidding on this one. I'm thinking VF35 with a shot at EF40. Reverse better than obverse. Seller's pics. After getting burned with that counterfeit a little while ago (although I did get a full refund) I'm looking for an album coin. Comments?   |

I don't see any obvious signs of concern. Best of wishes on the auction.

no way shes a VF coin and I think its a tadf better than a 40. I think it has a decent shot at XF45. my only concern is the blotchy color of the surfaces. maybe an older cleaning but I think she would grade straight. right price? if I could get it for 40 $$ i'd say its a good pickup. good luck

When I see the ribbon and hair curl without separation it makes me think 40 at best, but you could be right. LIBERTY. Is fairly sharp and the reverse is quite nice.. If I get it I'll post new pictures.

Appears to be a scratch (or photo artifact) on the headband above 1st diamond. That may merit a closer look once you have the coin.
I think this coin gets to XF45. We almost have separation between ribbon and hair.

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."

Looking at a bunch of 35/40/45 slabbed coins I think it's a 40+ if there is such a thing. Reverse is clearly 45 or better, but I think the obverse is a tossup between the clarity of "LIBERTY" and the lack of definition between the ribbon and the hair curl. Despite the slightly mottled obverse, the coin appears to show well with no staining or verdigris. I'm in at $142 including shipping, so I'm satisfied, assuming the coin doesn't show up with any unexpected issues.
