Thoughts on grade and problems? TPG grade and price in 48. Thanks!

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."

Hard to tell if it is wear or strike with the obverse pic, the glare make the details blurry in hair, the reverse looks to have a stronger strike than obverse, if it's wear on obv I would go Au-55, if weak strike could go ms-62, interested to see what others think

It looks dipped and retoned to me. I would have passed.
No higher than EF-45. I hardly see any luster.

AU-50, the toning is not that attractive, possibly AT.

Nice coin and I see it as an XF45. At first I'm thinking nice toning but then there is a glare that was previously mentioned so I'm not sure if I would have bought it.

NGC graded this one VF details cleaned. This is definitely not VF. It is most obvious on the detail of the talons on the eagle. I should have bid on it, but I didn't realize it was going to sell for $75.

Having not seen the slab I would have said VF35 A/T
