Picked this one up today too. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks.   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'd wager an AU-55. Can't tell about surface originality.
Are all of these coins coming from the same seller?

Looks like there's a few rim issues especially at 12 and 2 on the reverse. We'd need an image of the edge in those areas to know more precisely what they are. Minor Cuds most likely. |

 with AU-55, but I also am unsure if it's been cleaned based on the photos. |

These show luster a little better I think.
