Again, the surfaces are hard to see but I'll go with au53. Again, talons look worn. Surfaces look very mark free. Very nice.
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-53 and probably cleaned at one time. Many copies exist so be careful.

Thanks bandsdean. Again, not to keep rehashing my story, but the major collection I just inherited from my grandparents hasn't been touched since the early 80's. While its been established by others on the forum that fakes have existed forever, I have faith (admittedly maybe blindly so) that since my grandparents' collection history spanned 40 years, 1--they wouldn't have fakes in their collection, and 2--the degree of "fakery" wasn't as common 30+ years ago as it is today. Nonetheless, thanks for your opinion! NHcoinster |

Yeah those pictures are tough. It would be easier if you took it out of the holder but you might not want to do that if it was put in there by your grampap. 53 or 55 but the photos are too blurry to tell if it has been cleaned.
