an '82 always brings a tear to my eye. Great addition. I'm more of a 40 guy on this one. Is that a die crack on the reverse running above the corn to the right?

If there's some luster there I'd go AU50. Although the images are low resolution you can see a well struck piece with very little wear. Nice coin.

Pics are tough to make out. Shield on obverse looks beat up. I'll hold up for better pics.

arrived today   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."

Krusty! I'll stick with my XF-40 grade earlier...maybe even VF-35.

Appears to be a touch of strike weakness on the cheek because there's not much wear apparent elsewhere. The cut through the foot blends in well. I'd go XF45 here.
