AU50, I think it will look better in hand.

NS....are we back to the old days with sellers photos ? Ha, ha. I don't think I've ever gone away from posting sellers' photos. Thanks for all the feedback everyone. As always, I'm excited to see what shows up.

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."

It looks like it's been cleaned and retoned, possibly even artificially toned. It's AU Details for me pending better pics.

Very good chance it's a counterfeit

We'll have to look for indications when in hand and I am able to provide sharper pictures. Thanks!

dont like the color on this one but photos can be deceptive. if you like the coin and don't have problem returning it, maybe check it out in hand. if I was selling this, i'd want the photo to be the best representation of the coin in hand I could get to get the best price for it. so I do have concerns.

My grade would be AU53 Details - Cleaned + Artificially Toned. I'd have it worth around $150, so it's a return for me.

Old cleaning. The toning is natural. I'd put it at AU50.
