I got this one regraded. What do you think?  Hint: It is no longer in an AU Details slab.  Edited by TypeCoin971793

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've been thinking about this coin since last night when I saw it for the first time. It sure looks like high grade MS coin with lots of luster, but the REV shield says AU. I initially though MS64 also, but the shield is a mystery.

PCGS said AU-55, and I agree.

So I was at 64, do I still get a prize?

What a score! (I remember the previous threads) The toning is the icing on the cake.

 the reverse is better, but the flat hair holds it back. tremendous eye appeal for the grade though, and should command a hefty premium over a dull 55.
