numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 01/28/2026 3:07 pm 63. Hits seem concentrated in the sun. That and the weak lustet and strike shave a point off the grade for me. Also referred commonly as the Walking Liberty half. The Standing Liberty quarter is a different design. Nice looking coin from early in the series. 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."

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 02/06/2026 10:25 am I suppose that I am in the minority here but it looks like a slider unc in my opinion. On the obverse I see some flatness on the hand, hip, and knee areas. On the reverse I see a touch of flatness to the eagles body feathers and slightly on the eagles left leg. I don't think it is strike weakness so IMHO I call it AU-55 or perhaps AU-58 if the luster is better than shown. Report this Post to the Staff
