Here it is. Let me know what you all think of it. BTW the color is more lively in hand. EDIT: at Coinfrog's suggestion, I fixed the pix.    Edited by BigSilver

Looks like it should make AU-50 but it looks cleaned to me.

au55. 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."

I'm in the au-55 camp but I don't like the color. I could be the lighting or cleaning. Those little guys are tough to photograph. The toning is too uniform. au-details
Edit: I took a closer look at the stars to the right on the obverse. I don't think this coin has been cleaned.

These images are a better depiction of the color and luster of the coin. They also show a neat die clash that is actually what attracted me to the coin in the 1st place.   |

I couldn't offer an opinion based on your earlier pics. What a difference clear photos make! Honest surfaces, great clash, AU 55.
