Thanks everyone! After doing some research I'm wondering if this might be a VAM 88 Pitted Liberty's Head. That would explain Liberty's face. |

Yes, once you have them in hand we would love to see them. I'm predicting this one will be especially tasty.

The pics are very bright and tough to read. The reverse looks great and easily gem level. The obverse does not look as good and the obverse strike is below average for this date. I'd guess MS64 from these images but that's only a conservative guess. Hard to go wrong for $40 though.

MS-64 as the cheek looks a bit banged up.

I think MS63 based on that cheek.

64 from what I can see
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 sure what's going on with the cheek, but it looks like an easy 64 otherwise. Some of the surfaces are washed out by the lighting, and it's hard to assess those areas. Might be PL, or just harsh lighting.

Got the coin in today as well as mu new Canon camera and 100 mm macro lens... the fields on the coin are VERY reflective but not easy to capture...   this shows the reflectivity of the fields  |

  a couple more photos as it has been a long time since I had a good camera and lens... lowered the lighting a bit so they aren't quite as hot. |

I'm still at MS63 and it looks like a good shot at PL, more so on the reverse than obverse. Welcome to DSLR coin photography.  |
