$622. I have not owned a Seated dollar with the reverse motto, although I have a lot of Seated dollars. I purchased a few in the past but ended up returning them because I didn't like the surfaces. Sunday, I realized that I didn't own an 1871-dated coin and a few other dates, so I started looking around and, lo and behold, this beauty popped up. Bought it on the strength of the surfaces as so many seem cleaned or scratched. Kind of wish it was less circulated, but you get what is offered in the marketplace. I realized that it had been over 7 years that I had been looking for one of these. Oh, and I will be adding this to my date set later tonight. Thoughts? Thanks!    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."

Somewhere between VF35 and XF40. Tough to find nice, uncleaned coins like this in the marketplace. Congrats on an astute pickup!

Original surfaces VF30/35 range. So many of these have been messed with - it's refreshing to see an original surface coin appear. Lovely coin for your intentions of the date set. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artEdited by nickelsearcher
