I'd like to see this one in hand. My first thought was questionable color. If original, I'd say AU-58. Looks like some wear on the ribbon and curl. I could see this in an MS-62RB holder though.

A definite degree of wear in the headband feathers, ear area, cheek, and ribbon. AU details, questionable color / recolored.

the pics are not the best to grade from as the lighting abd distortion of the case can be altering what we are seeing. my first thought was that the obverse looked flat like it was dipped. technically I think its an AU58 grade but cant commit that it was cleaned or would warrant a details designation

Agree high AU, but not necessarily that it's been cleaned.

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."

AU-58, but I cannot tell if it has been cleaned.
