I think a TPG probably wouldn't apply a number to a coin like this, and wouldn't use "MS" either, even though there's no obvious wear. I think the flat spots are a strike issue. Unc - details (harshly cleaned). |

much better photos. I update my comment to AU details (cleaned) maybe UNC details (cleaned) looking at the highest devices on both sides I'm not seeing signs of circulation unless it was a couple hours so I'm leaning toward the UNC side

I agree with MS detail. Fields are nearly mark-free and I'm not seeing any hairline scratches. Surfaces and color don't look original so I expect a grading service would flag it as cleaned or altered-surface.
Too bad, it has decent eye appeal and excellent detail. Still worthy of consideration at the right price.

MS Detail here as well. I do like that reverse die crack though!

Lots of friction on it but still a beauty. Down grading it to AU-58.

much better photos. its a real tough call for me between AU and UNC details. I'm looking at the rounded hairlines on the obv from K9 across the bust down to the bust. to me that looks like someone took something and swiped it across the surface. I'm still going with UNC details

Congratulations!  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."
