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."

I'd say AU-53, I don't think cleaned, just harsh lighting.

i see this at AU53 and although I would like to say it was not ever cleaned the chances are pretty low. considering that I really like it with the luster peaking out all over.

I paid $220 delivered which is in line with prices paid for XF45 graded coins of this date according to auction records from multiple sources. Pretty happy that it might be undergraded.

I would have said AU-50. Nice hair detail.

The obverse likely held it back since the reverse looks like a solid AU-50. Pretty strong star detail compared to most CBHs. Nice!

If you're gonna get it reslabbed maybe an acetone soak would remove that black gunk? Great coin either way

Nice coin, EF-45 seems conservative.

In hand photos. My direct incandescent light makes it look golden, but it is more silvery white. Flaws come out.

I see hairlines. It looks like it's been harshly cleaned.
