Picked up yesterday. Thoughts on grade appreciated. Pics are fuzzy but they are the best I could do.   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."

Very fuzzy, but MS65+ from my view.

This seller was offering 2 coins. The one I bought and shown in this thread was $140 or best offer. I offered $120 and bought it. He had another one, linked below for $145 or best offer and that one is still offered at the link below. One kind of suspicious thing was that when I looked at these tow coins, they seemed to be pictures of the same coin. A lot of the marks seem to match perfectly when compared side. Highly suspicious, but the seller seems to be an established vendor with a physical location so I bought it. What do you think? Should I have been more skeptical? You are welcome to pick the other one up if you like the coin and price. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1892-BARBER...100408.m2460IN 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.

After looking at the sellers pictures - the surfaces sure are "grainy" for a minted US coin. And the Rims around the reeds are very pronounced. Any thoughts?

Nice luster despite low resolution pics. I'd say MS-64 from the photos. But I agree with you that the reverse photo looks like the same coin that he still has listed. The nick on the wreath at 4:00 and on the rim at 9:00 are identical.

I see identical markers on both sides. I'm nervous but willing to see what shows up.
