This is a good teaching coin to distinguish between strike weakness and wear. Tough to place a numerical grade on this especially from just pictures but I would venture somewhere in the MS range. Looking forward to the reveal.

I cataloged this coin! Glad to see you purchased it, it is a very attractive coin at the assigned grade level.

I think it slots in around 63. I am not great at grading CBH's.

Stunning and beautiful coin. I'm sure mid MS-something, and look forward to the grade reveal.

Some strike issues but I don't see any wear in the usual places. MS-64.

I think I've said this before...but this is not a series I follow or know. I try to click on all the GTG's just to see if I kinda know and hold back...just because I know I don't... But, I try to comment on the beautiful one's I see... THIS is one of them... I won't even pretend to guess...but She is a beauty! Glad to see you back in the game! Nice stocking stuffer!  smat |

Looks like strike weakness to me. I want to say MS64, but is a tough series to grade for sure. Beauty though.

I agree with the others. Nice Xmas gift. Great addition to your 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."

Glad everyone thought it was higher than it was graded. The luster is fantastic, and the images don't do it justice. I also had it CMQ stickered since I bought it in a Stacks auction.  I guess the strike weakness played into the grade as I found it was previously also in an NGC holder also graded 62. It can be traced back to a Scotsman's sale and Heritage sale in 2013. It is as nice as 63s that I have seen. |
