I won't offer a grade other than to say the pics aren't the greatest for this coin.

Never cleaned nor dipped, which in itself is miraculous. Very strong strike both obverse and reverse which is also scarce for this early date. Other than a single tiny black spot at the top right of shield on reverse which is so insignificant as to be without affect on either condition or grade, there is not a single other distractions worth consideration.
The monotone photo makes it very difficult to see any slide in the open fields, but there is some indication of same.
Extremely light note of high point rub.
It's an odd grade, but I'd go AU-58+.

No less than 58 for sure, might well be a mid-level dull unc.

That's a beauty. If it had little bit of luster I think it could go MS. AU range in my eyes

I would like to see this under different light. It sort of looks lifeless but I think it's the pics. 58 here.

This one is among the 4 finest first year LSDs graded by PCGS. None graded higher. Looked to me like there was beautiful uninterrupted luster throughout both sides of the coin. Nice call Everest.   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."

Wow you were considering it for purchase? You sure must have whole bunches of money. I've got a new term for these types of posts, fantasy baiting.

Wow, no wonder PCGS won't hire me.

Ok that is a huge difference. This guy is going to have a hard time selling this coin with those pics. I would have used the stacks pictures.

Thanks BH2004. I hadn't seen the pictures from Stacks.
