Thoughts on grade and problems. TPG grade and price in 48 as usual. 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."

Such a shame it's a details coin. Despite that, the eye appeal isn't half bad. I agree with the fellas above - AU details.

I agree with the others that it looks cleaned, possibly with a chemical. However, the details are pretty sharp. I'd guess AU55 or AU58 details.

Seems like someone dremeled the obv fields. I liked the look of the coin in spite of the damage. Agree it looks like high AU details. Paid $205. Seems like about 66%-75% off from a straight au55-58. Thought that was reasonable based on the coin's eye appeal.
