Thoughts on grade and problems? 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."

Agree, AU details, cleaned or perhaps wire-brushed in some way.

It looks like the hairlines on the lower right quadrant in both the obverse and reverse were machined with some tool that followed parallel to the edge of the coin. I can't figure out what they were trying to accomplish because you can see the surface of the coin well below the hairlines and it looks exactly the way it does in every other part of the coin. The pictures are excellent, but will know more when I get it in hand next week. Thanks for your thoughts.
