Grade and problems? TPG in 48.   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."

There is good luster, only slight traces of rub, and what appears to be die scratches/gouges below the point of the bust. I would grade AU58 but this has a shot at a market grade 62 slab.

Nice luster, interesting die gouges. I'd go MS-63.

MS-63. Dipped, but done correctly. I need to find an 1825 this nice.
If it is AU-58, buy it! Don't question it and run!

I'll say 63. Very clean, but the pics don't suggest strong luster.

This is among the finest graded capped bust halves and is being offered for $40k. Somehow the close up pics do not adequately show the coin's outstanding luster.
