Sellers pics. Curious what the CCF thinks this would grade. Way overpriced, IMO, but thinking about making an offer. Looks about F15 to me with nice circulation cameo. Thoughts?   |

F15 seems reasonable. Very attractive.
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."

I'd agree with you on F15. No problems on the period showing. No idea about a price though.

looks all original and has a decent eye appeal for the grade. I think you are spot on with F15

Nice attractive coin and F15 seems about right. Not sure about the right obverse field, however - it looks funny.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Fine sounds about right.
Errers and Varietys.

F-15 is solid. I would usually say you should wait for a higher grade example, but this is a tough die marriage. This is a very pleasant circulated coin!

Hondo, I did ask for additional pics with more Lighting to get a better look at the surfaces as I also had some concerns about the right obverse field almost looks like a little graffiti.
Otherwise, thanks for the feedback everyone.

It looks F-15 to me, too. The right obverse field does look a little bit concerning. If you brighten the exposure, there appears to be a N-S scratch running through the field, most visible to the left of the 9th and 10th stars. It looks older, rather than anything new. This is a tough variety. I don't think the scratch would be a bourse floor issue, but it's a concern how a TPG might see it. I wouldn't be scared away from this coin, but it might be a haggle point with a seller. |
