numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 01/17/2026 2:49 pm This is another upgrade for my capped bust half date set. 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."

pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 01/17/2026 3:39 pm That flatness on the eagle wing could be a strike issue. There should be more there than there is, considering the entire shield is intact. Obverse easily VF25 or 30, but the reverse would need special dispensation. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 01/19/2026 09:55 am nice circulated piece. typical weak spots. this is a tough call. the higher devices are well struck up. the stars, denticles, LIBERTY and look at those arrow tips! all depends on who is grading this one as to how much they deduct for strike. look at the cheek and bust line. very little wear on these areas. if this coin was struck up a tad better it could be an AU coin. I think it would come in netted to 40 or 45 no lower than that. you're not going to see a VF coin with kind of device development. I'm leaning towards the XF45 side as I would weight the obv higher than the reverse on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
