numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 12/28/2025 11:59 am $50. #32 of 35 acquired recently. This one came with a card in the flip. Seller is from upstate NY in Poughkeepsie and has this graded a gem for $45 smackers. 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 18673 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 08:50 am the 98(O) are well known for above average strikes. this one is pretty good. lots of luster hanging around. rev a solid MS65. there is a good hit on the jaw, a few hits on the neck and a small reed mark on field. the reverse and luster should bump it to MS64. killer buy Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3655 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 3:25 pm Yowza. New Orleans produced more pancakes than Waffle House and IHOP combined, but this sure isn't one of them. ANY non-pancake New Orleans coin is a buy at $50-ish, and this is a nice coin. It's not only a good strike, it has a frosty original surface. I'll be the outlier here. I can't get to MS-64. There are some deeper dings on both the obverse and reverse that hold it to MS-63. The ding near "PL", the long scratch through the hair to the fourth right star, the number and location of the cheek dings, and a lot of little dings buried in the devices (ear, lower hair curls, cap beneath the ribbon, etc.) are just too much for MS-64. The reverse is better, but still has too much chatter in the fields and knock on the eagle right wing (our visual left). Frankly, if the dealer thought this was MS-65, it would have been slabbed. I'm at MS-63, but this is a slam-dunk buy of a still very nice coin at $50-ish average for the strike and surface originality. Report this Post to the Staff

ericgreen Pillar of the Community United States 1515 Posts	Posted 12/30/2025 9:13 pm As others said, awesome strike and luster for the year and mint! I think that would probably pull it up to a lower end MS-64 Report this Post to the Staff

I may or may not have referred to their product as "Euclidian pancakes." We had a good relationship with a (now retired) Waffle House manager. We bought the waffle mix from him all the time (truth is, they will sell it to anyone if you ask nicely). I can assure you that the waffle mix makes good pancakes, although we prefer to use our vintage GE waffle iron griddle.
