Thank you all very much for your comments, and to @kbbpl and @Fayette1800 for their explanations about this variety. I was curious what you all thought about the grade, but also about whether you think this coin has been cleaned (ie, a 'details' coin). As a side note, I found this coin, as well as this lower grade example unattributed in Europe many years ago. I myself did not notice the inverted date until many years later.     |

Strong die clash on the reverse of both of your examples! I just noticed that. Browsing Heritage archives it seems like almost all of them have it.

MS62. Nice coin. I don't see any rub.  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 am at AU-55 to AU-58 with the pictures. Fantastic coins, and very interesting variety.

It may be AU58 looking at my example. My example is not inverted, but mine is PCGS MS62. Yes I think the die clashing is very common.   |

Certainly an MS grade would not surprise.
