VG10
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."

Can't offer an opinion on the grade, but wanted to add my Two Cents that you have a gorgeous coin there. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Just a theory here maybe nothing left in PCGS break room but Sanka Instant Decaf on a Monday in 1992 G-6? now that's a green tomato! GC's sexed up image shows smidgen of green blue on obverse rim 11:00 was relieved to examine coin in hand, no sign of PVC or corrosion looks stable imo. Old girls been around sold for $804 ebay in June and GC Sept 2025. Dubiousness of being auction record G6 at GC $704 after fees. I'm pleased with the coin nothing fancy just a undergraded x2 1877 i.m.o. Two really nice VG-8's and a VG10 sold also was surprised this one went at $626.  |

VG-10, looks like this one needs a break out and resubmit.

Thanks for commenting. Have been lurking for a VG several months lots available many straight graded coins just downright ugly or over graded over priced imo. CACG has seemed to put to rest the notion of F-12 5 letter sliders followed by ANACS the last 4-5 years. GC had a smoker ANACS VG10 back in June I missed out on that coin looks F12+ I'm high on ANACS standards last 3 years yay ANACS. Yeoman's 27th edition 1970 VG $65 1992 45th $250 looks like the 1877 keeps up and beats inflation. GoldEagle yes I'm going to see what CAC thinks try for a green bean first CAC's actions will speak loud and clear no illusions of a gold bean but I'll tell ya it crossed my mind  Edited by luvmyCAM

I see the presence of letters in the headband. That normally qualifies as Fine 12 or 15.

very odd bird this one. I have no doubt the strike on both sides is weak. just look at the sharpness of the letters, date, right obv denticles and shield. I cant see this coin as G however, it comes down to how much is wear and how much is strike. imo the coin has some details that exhibit a VF coin. I wouldn't net it out any less than F12 or even as high as F15. I think the issue is if you ever looked at selling. considering a bean would help solidify it
