thanks. this one is graded by PCGS. I will post TPG in 48. 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."

Au-50 cleaned. I bet it got a straight grade but it's a total piece of crap.

Old cleaning, but probably straight graded AU-55.

i thought this one was undergraded  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 right obverse field is highly concerning

It figures. I don't even bother looking on ebay for sld's anymore. The higher graded ones are junk/cleaned coins that other dealers are desperate to unload. I think there's some kind of contrast trick the seller used to schlep this particular example. |

AU-50, problem free. The sure sign of cleaning would be if hairlines extend through the devices but I don't see that on this example so I think the chatter on the obverse is from handling during circulation.
