This was the first coin I ever won at an auction. Best I can determine in was sometime in 1983. As a 12/13-year-old, I was telling my dad what to bid. I believe I won it for $35 or $40, which was a lot of money.  |

I'll say VF-30, perhaps 35.

Love the coin and color. VF-35 imo. Wish someone had talked me into collecting these back then.

in hand photos would be better as TV rarely show what the actual coin looks like. a nice VF30 sounds right. PCGS has always had problems grading these taking into consideration strike issues.

Just shy of XF seems right. Nice coin. Thanks for sharing.  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."

This one came back as VF-25. I sent it in expecting a 25 or 30, so not really a big surprise. I would think it is a strong 25.
