Grade and problems? TPG grade in 48. Thx.   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."

MS64. I can't really say that I dig this one, but it is sharp and relatively free of marks or nicks.

Haven't had a lot of experience with these. As holdered this is a $2,000 coin. o you think this was misgraded by the TPG?

Proof. Never would have guessed. I have little experience with Buffalo Proofs. I would have thought the mint would have been more choosy with their planchet selection and pick one with no alloy mixing streaks in it if they knew they were going to strike a proof.

Still learning but this coin appears to exhibit strikes on streaky planchets.   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.

I didn't know it was a proof either. Lots for me to learn.

Can anyone explain how you could even tell this was a proof?
