adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 02/24/2024 9:29 pm Well, I never really worried or cared about my phone camera capabilities. While work in progress, I'm getting a better idea how to manipulate settings for sharper images that better reflect the true color. The mintage on this one is on the lower side at 63k. I think this is C-2 based on the missing leaf fraction to the left of the vine on the opposite side of the double berries at 9 o'clock. Anyone know the rarity on this one? I see PCGS has the overall population at R4.8. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 02/24/2024 9:58 pm VF35. On the fence about whether it grades straight. 1 in date looks like it has some damage. Obverse surfaces not as attractive as in reverse. 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."

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/24/2024 11:51 pm 30 details, environmental damage obverse with a dig at S8 / reverse has a cut above and to the right of HALF Not a terrible-looking coin by any means, but it does have a few issues.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 02/25/2024 03:17 am My grade is VF20, with unfortunately enough minor scrapes/knocks to make it a 'details' coin. CQR says C-2 is a R-1. The variety is distinguished by the curl located between 2 and 5 (per CQR). This is my example of C-1 which has the curl located above 5. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36806 Posts	Posted 02/25/2024 12:29 pm VF-35 straight grade. This one matches the PCGS example for that grade. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18682 Posts	Posted 02/25/2024 2:39 pm shes the more common 13 star variety. pretty good dig at K2 obv. as well as a pretty good hit to 1 in the date add to that a cut on the reverse and the may not grade straight. technically I can see it at VF35. I think the surface issues and discoloration would net it down to VF30 possibly details for all the issues. not a fan of the eye appeal on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 02/25/2024 6:37 pm Germanics, thanks for the information on the variety. With that, C-2 it is. Panzaldi, I agree, not the best eye appeal. I picked it up about a yr ago for $60 when first entering the hobby. Today, it's not something I would purchase. NS, IGE, and paralse, appreciate the feedback. Report this Post to the Staff
