au details cleaned and polished
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."

AU58. Toning is attractive, and natural. A TPG might details grade it for the hairlines visible in the fields, but instead, I would suggest a net grade of AU53. I'm not a big fan of tossing the "Details - Cleaned" designation on every old coin that's ever been wiped with a cloth, but I understand why it must be done.

No comparison to the 44. This isn't anywhere near as nice.
Some bad typical edge dents and a polished appearance.
I just don't like this one.

Agree AU-58, but not very helpful pics, too much flashback. Unsure if it's been cleaned.

I don't trust the lighting and the pictures on this one. I see hairlines. Another details crackout. Run Forest, Run!

I agree with most of the comments on this one. looks high AU but the lighting could be hiding a polishing or something else. not a fan

Harsh lighting. Appears to have AU details but may be cleaned or polished.
