Not mint state batboy, you can see a small bit of wear on the shield on the reverse, AU-55

i have it at AU55 also. some weakness in strike on the obverse is being attributed to wear. I think the scratches on the cheek and neck area, lack of luster and discoloration around the date area would keep it from AU58. you also have a small rim hit at 1 o'clock on the revers

au50. Not a fan of the prominent marks on jawline and fields well hidden in original pics.
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."

Thanks all. After some soul searching and navel contemplation I decided to pass on this coin. But, the other two little Indians I bought from the seller are super nice. I also just won an auction for different 1908 IHC (slabbed MS-63BN). Edited by batboy

The second set of photos altered my opinion. The piece is not better than AU, probably the lower end of the AU grade given the marks.
