Seller had this 1935 Peace incorrectly listed as a 1925. Won it for $22, due to that, but a small victory is a victory nonetheless. I think mid-upper AU, but can't tell if it is a cleaned coin or not. Seller pictures.

MS61. Light wipe in obverse, market acceptable. Nice doubling of obverse motto. Nice reverse fields.
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."

AU58 and the AU58's can be beautiful coins for much less money than MS60 or above. I got AU58 1927 ,1921, 1928 and 1934 and they both have low mintage. I am still waiting for Peace
dollars to get the recognition they deserve. Many of these coins have mintage of maybe a million and I bet half were melted down in the boom in silver in the 80's and 2011. When silver hit $50 an ounce you know the common coins get melted regardless of condition.
