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."

Not my cup of tea. AU, but I wouldn't pay AU money for it.

55 but tough to know what it really looks like in hand. There are so many AU BHD out there that I'm very picky when I buy one. PCGS had a bad habit of overgrading these for years and NGC always seems to get all warm and fuzzy about original tone, even if that isn't supposed to influence technical grade.
I'm just too jaded from seeing so many AU examples. I really need one to lift me off the ground before they can get in to my pocket.

looks like an AU-50 to AU-55. Not the best eye appeal but I'd take it ;)

AU-53. If it makes you happy then it can't be that bad!

NGC had this at AU58. Will post pics when in hand. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Price for this one was $575 which made it easy to decide to scoop this. The dark toning probably affected the price. Awesome for me because I love the toning.
