CBHs of the 1830s boast many, many attractive AU55s with great luster. These coins were unpopular and didn't circulate much. This was during the time when there were no dollars and were viewed as too clunky to carry around. Here is mine http://goccf.com/t/285741&SearchTerms=1832) and I own less than 40 collector coins. This coin is nicer than mine, and I'm guessing he paid a lot less for it than I did. 
His is nicer within grade, but there seems to be a premium for blast white coins.
It is difficult to find the really well-struck up hair with a hint of rub necessary for AU58. The price jumps considerably if you find that.
One hint that the coin in this thread is AU55 is that the obverse fields don't look to have the original mint luster that the rest of the coin has.

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."
