Thanks everyone! It was a 23.00 gamble but I thought it was going to be a nice coin from the buffalo's back in the photos from the auction.

I think it will tip toe into the 55 camp.

AU55 with beautiful horn. You say you got that coin for $23 ? Where am I when these things go down?

I would have to agree with AU55, though it is really hard to spot any wear some features look like less in relief that would be on a mint state coin.

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."
