Pictures aren't great, but opinions on grade and problems appreciated. Thanks!   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."

Right, pics not very good. I'll take a stab and say EF-40, but that's just a guess, wouldn't testify in court!

I'm going to guess AU-55 from the little bits of luster I can see in the images.
I would not buy this coin. It is original, but unattractive.

To be honest, we need sharper pics.

if you are looking to purchase it using these pics may not be a good idea. there are some rim hits on the reverse and due to the blurriness of the pics you have no idea what the surfaces look like. the coin does appear to be AU quite possibly 55.

Thanks. It's cheap enough but maybe too uncertain.

It looks like it is AU from those pictures. I would guess AU-53.

No way to grade from these scans.

Looks like AU detail. A section of of the reverse rim around 7:00 looks flattened (possible damage). As noted, overall look is unattractive. If it were cheap enough it might be worth taking a chance since it could be nicer than what these images suggest. Buyer beware!
