Thoughts on these Half Dimes? Pics were taken from afar, sorry if the quality is poor. Zoomed in if it helps any. They look nice from what I can see. Pehaps AU-50. Thanks for all help!

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."

Good eyes, Paralyse. I didn't spot that beginning hole. Glad I wasn't offering to buy that one.

A lesson hard learned from ebay:

When you see something you really like, and you are ready to smash the bid or BIN button 5 seconds later, stop. Now look at the item and try to find every defect, flaw, imperfection, problem, and issue you can, as though you were the harshest, strictest grader on the planet. Now wait a few moments and look again. This especially applies for "Too Good To Be True" listings -- there's a reason why that "Problem Free F12" 1877 Indian Head cent that ends in 10 minutes is only at a high bid of $51, and if you can't answer why, you're not looking hard enough.
