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."

Lack of toning around suggests to me that it's been dipped.
If so then a grade is moot.

Not sure the grade is moot, but the coin has likely been dipped. I prefer original surfaces. Detail is really nice.

Don't necessarily agree that it's been dipped. I'd say 63 or 64. Very attractive.

//the picture of coin is too 'whited out'. Looks like a Stacks or Great Collections pic. I would pass without better pics.

PCGS thought this one AU55. Mint luster seems to be mostly around the edges. Still think it looks undergraded.
