Thoughts on grade and band split designation appreciated. TPG grade and price in 48 hours as usual. Thanks!

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."

AU 58 - pics are too blurry to tell about Full bands and that's why the low grade also. Better pics will give you better grading results.

MS62. if the obverse scratches are on the coin then cleaned. I think clearer pics of the reverse will be needed to judge bands, however, based on these I think not.

I thought this was a great upgrade to my type set. Remarkably mark-free. Scratches on obverse are on slab. Will post better pics when in hand. The label is peeling off -- error slab?  Thanks for your input. Because of the thin lines and raised nature of the fasces on the reverse, hits to that device are very visible. I only see one small hit to the fasces in the lower diagonal band. Very clean.

Forgot price. I paid $147.50 which is just below wholesale bid at $150. Auction seems to be at $150-200.
