I say Au50. Not a fan of the toning.

Low AU, probably straight but not of much appeal, at least to me.

Thanks MC, great site.  Tried identifying and with the combination of toning and subtle variety markers could not attribute.  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 agree with NGC on this one. I examined the coin carefully and I don't see any wear. My favorite part is the detail of the three arrowheads. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

This is when pictures, instead of scans, are necessary. Scans almost always destroy coin luster, making them appear dull and lifeless. I'm sure it looks much different in hand.
