It's very important to have in the title. * Hey all, just got this one back from grading, thought it'd be fun to let everyone guess the grade and VAM. Do your best with my pictures, I know they could be sharper . Good luck! Edited by UnimpossibIe 02/13/2024 8:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 8:33 pm Looks like an early Harrison die. Maybe 1B0? If so, that is a fairly rare variety. I don't see the "AME" scratch... For grade, I'll venture that it could be MS, but AU is possible. I can't see the surfaces very well. Nice coin in any event!

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5675 Posts	Posted 02/14/2024 01:02 am I'll go with 1B1? Impressive reverse clashes. Hard to tell the luster, but I'd say MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 02/14/2024 12:02 pm I think the muted luster in the photos is throwing many of us off. The reverse is beautiful with great luster but the obverse seems to have so.e disturbances but they seem light. I'll guess 64 and I can't really help with the VAM. 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."

GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1530 Posts	Posted 02/14/2024 3:03 pm I'll go with 1888-O VAM-1B1 Die Break Dot, EDS, and an MS-64 Edited by GMS5 02/14/2024 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 4:26 pm i can only assess by the photos provided. too much glare is obscuring surfaces its making the coin look flat and given it a possible overly dipped look so without better photos UNC details (cleaned) Report this Post to the Staff
