Hi All, The last two photos were taken outside. I was trying to get a shot of luster. If those aren't helpful, let me know and I won't submit those shots anymore. I did learn something while doing it though. It explains some of the photos I've seen on ebay. lol     Thanks |

Yeah, the last two photos are not helpful as they show too much glare. The first two photos I am seeing an XF coin, possibly details due to pitting on the obverse. The feather layer lines are complete on the reverse which is why I called it XF.

I'm no photographer but taking pictures in direct sun never works for me. Try natural light at a window but not in the sun.

I'll agree with XF-45. What is going on in front of the nose? That's an odd place for scrapes.

Wayyy too much luster for an XF. AU-55 minimum for me.

I am also at XF-45 as there is too much wear for an AU grade imo.

XF40
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."
