numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11894 Posts	Posted 12/16/2025 8:05 pm $50. #23 of 35 acquired recently. I again tried to reorient the coin so that the cheek receives most of the light. Let me know if this is better. Missed the post from last night so doubling up today. 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."

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 10:15 am pretty good hit on the jaw. looks like she was not stored properly for quite a while so eye appeal on the lower end. decent strike for the year as they are typically on the weaker side. looks like she is missing most of the luster.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 10:58 am Seriously. Are you trying to snag ALL of the top pop Morgan VAMs in one purchase? To my eyes, this looks like either 1889 VAM-5A or VAM-5B (which is a pretty tough bird to land). Both are Hit List 40 VAMs. I can't tell if the "n" clash is visible at Liberty's throat, which is needed for the 5B, but there is something there. I agree, AU-55, and nice for the grade.
