I bought this off a bigger lot on ebay. Big gamble. What do you guys think based on my enhancement of the low res seller pics?
My expectation is MS61

Reverse looks pretty good and looks gem BU, but the problem seems to be the left obverse flied, which seems to have some significant disturbance. Out of left field, I will say MS62 pending in-hand pictures.
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."

you just dont tilt a coin like that to make sure the buyer see's the actual coin, they did it for a reason. would be interested in seeing it when you receive it. hopefully its low MS and the obverse in front of the profile is not bad enough for a details designation

ACtually, the coin was not intentionally tilted. It was in a lot, which I cropped it out from

To be honest, I don't see how one can make an intelligent judgment from pics like these.

When a seller 'tilts' a coin or gives lousy photos, I'm always careful of purchase.
