Sellers pics. I'd like to own one of these someday, probably won't be this one. But I am curious what the CCF thinks about this one. It is in a TPG holder.   Edited by adam126402

XF40. I think all of these are overdates re-using 1812 dated dies. The overdate markers are faint but still visible in these pictures.
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."

Many of these early halves exhibit some form of strike weakness, not to be confused with wear. I believe that is the case here with some of the flatness. Due to lack of luster I would call it AU-50

Looks very dark with very little wear. I'm going with AU50 also, due to lack of luster and darkness that hurts eye appeal.

This date always gets a bump. PCGS probably called it EF-40 but I think it is a VF coin.

I'm with jacrispies on this one. Second set of images indicate a details coin.

For an ICG genuine coin, the holder offers zero value for the collector. It has to be purchased from the perspective of a raw coin. I see the price on ebay, which is much more than what I think it is worth. Raw at a show this is worth $3,000. Suffering from bust half fever.

the neck area is a dead giveaway and this is how photographs what a actual coin appears like in hand and if ICG doesn't assign a grade you know there is something wrong.
