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 will guess MS 63, but it really could be AU cleaned, or MS 66. We simply do need better pics.

Sorry, I am constrained by the pictures provided by the seller. Thanks for providing your thoughts. I ended up buying the other 1943 WLH, but I thought this one was very nice too. I will provide the TPG grade and price in 48 hours. Thanks.

Common-date Walkers generally wouldn't be worth having graded unless they have a realistic shot at, say, MS-64 or better. However, it's easy to overlook a slight trace of rub on the breastplate or in the obverse fields in your quest for a high-MS grade. That optimism is the source of those AU-58 pieces you sometimes see in PCGS or NGC holders.

MS-64 seems like a reasonable guess on this one but there could easily be that fatal trace of rub which is obscured by the blurry obverse photo. If all I had to go on was these photos I wouldn't pay over AU money.
