Bid on this and I thought I would snag it for $175, but someone loved it $195 dollars worth and lost out. What would you grade it? Should I have gone to $225? Regrets... I have a few...

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."

Agree with AU-55 sharpness, but lacking in luster. Great looking coin, though.

It looks like it could make AU-55.

Would have been a good price only if you are a collector and not a buyer to re-sell. And that's an "O" not a "D" you have pictured.
