Picked this one up yesterday. Thoughts on grade and problems? Paid $150. A little concerned about what is happening in the reverse near the denomination. Thanks!

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'm not a grader, but I think she's a beauty! Some toning, but who doesn't like that?  "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Looks like you took the pic through the plastic of a 2x2?
AU -55, probably details.

AU-55 details. The obverse looks messed with. Plus there are scratches in QUAR . DOL.

That would be odd to have scratches or grafitti there on the lower reverse with an otherwise mark free coin. Are you sure they are scratches? Definitely AU. I like the coin myself but it's hard to tell not having it in hand to look at.

AU Detail - Improperly Cleaned with possible damage as well. $150 sounds like a lot of that piece but I could look better in-hand.

This one came in today. Very happy with it. Booming luster on both sides.

Same coin of course. AU-58, possibly details but unsure.
