I don't have this coin in hand yet. I won it for 41.00 free ship. These are photos from the auction. So what do y'all think?  Thanks in advance, Blair |

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."

Thanks everyone. I don't see what is making some of you think it's been cleaned but I was thinking high AU to low MS so I guess I am learning.
Thanks again,
Blair

I say it's high AU and not cleaned. Could be MS, but the photos aren't showing much luster. I see some toning on the right-hand side of the reverse that looks original.

AU-58 possibly dipped and not rinsed well with some new tone starting.

Sorry, I have issues with my eyes and have trouble seeing true colors (cataracts) I retook the photos with a true white paper in the photo to get a true color and perhaps show the luster better.   |
