Wow! Another high grade 1886-O. Pictures are a little blurry, but looks to have ms65 sharpness. Problem is that I would expect cartwheel luster on a coin this sharp and lustrous, but I do not see cartwheel luster. I see luster hugging S8 & S9 in the obverse. Luster looks weird. Also an ms65 1886-O is rare and a $200,000 coin.
Would really like to see clear pictures of this coin. Excited about this one.
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."

Clear pictures please. I don't see any luster from these pics. Take the pics straight on, not at an angle.

These pics are hiding a lot of potential issues. Need sharper photos to grade from.
