not a huge fan of the color of this coin. Looks xf45 to AU50 for a grade.

Probably VF-35, although 40 wouldn't surprise me.

Found the ebay listing and if it grades out, you made a great buy. Pictures make the coin look mushy, so based on these pictures, I'm not at that grade, but it may be the pic resolution, not the coin. The dentils look mushy, the hair detail doesn't look sharp. I don't think you'll do too bad based on what you paid though.  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."

Looks like a nice coin, seller pics chased buyers. I found the listing too, you made a nice buy. Too bad I was at the car wash, or you would have paid more  |

EF-40 I'm guessing. Tough coin for sure but don't love the look.

just found listing as well. Coin has to look much better in hand to warrant that grade. Pics must have held it back considerably.

VF35-XF40 (blurry) -- PCGS probably straight graded it, coin has issues -- has been cleaned, is not retoning nicely, and reverse and obverse both have staining from the improper cleaning.

This coin flew right by PCGS at a grade of AU55!!
Thanks everyone for guessing.
I guess this coin does not get the seal of approval from CCF

Whoever graded that coin at AU55 at PCGS needs to be fired. I hear NNC has a few openings...
