Looks xf45-au50 details. Surfaces look mechanically altered with lots of tiny parallel scratches.
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 think I got the bait and switch pulled on me on ebay... was listed as "Uncirculated" The photo doesn't look like the same coin... I think he may have sold the actual coin to someone else... he claimed it was lost in the mail, then it was returned to him...no tracking... then he said he resent it with tracking and I finally got THIS coin. I'm waiting to hear what his reply is... Thanks, Blair |

$19 is high for this and low for a true BU. Hook us up with the ebay lot so we can compare. |

It looks like it could make AU-50.

The gentleman I bought it from contacted me within an hour of my sending him my concerns. He has given me a full refund with his apology. Apparently he is not a regular coin dealer and was just selling off some coins he had bought at an estate sale (after looking through his other items and items he has sold I believe this to without a doubt be true). He took the "BU" from other auctions of "shiny" coins like this. He did right by me (refunded my money and told me to keep the coin) in the end so I'm going to let it go at that.
Thank you everyone for your grade opinions!
Blair
