Hello! I checked this coin and didn't find many problems except the traces I circle out. Would these affect grading?  What do you think. Bought it for $13.9, which I think is a good price.   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Four full diamonds, so I'd say AU-55, but that dark arc on the lower left obverse detracts.

EF45. 3 diamonds is all I see (sorry, Coinfrog!) - separation of band from hair; no luster. The reverse has environmental damage and would prevent the coin from straight grading at a TPG.

AU details ( PMD) most likely due to improper storage over the years |

I'll say AU.

Looks like environmental damage for sure. Details, EF 40-45 sound about right.

AU details, environmental damage. The obverse nics are not the issue.

The "missing" diamond is not the high point of the ribbon - I think it's all there, just smushed.

i stand behind my original assessment on this one and i'll to that that someone attempted to remove the verdigris and clean the coin up and you can see some corrosion/pitting between the N and E in ONE
i can't see this coin going straight even if it had a verdichem dip. looks like the original skin was removed. an AU+ coin should not be dull in nature. could it be lighting? sure, especially since the original photos didnt show this. so the question is...which set of photos looks like it does in hand?

This is a problem coin.

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."
