Since we've had so much fun grading my other coins I figured I'd keep it up :)   |

Love that monotone toning. Ill bet that this is really pretty in the light. AU-55. Really lovely example.

Au55 seems right. Obverse weakly struck, evident in lack of hair detail above forehead. Reverse is much better than obverse.
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."

Lots of AU55 than MS state conditions - Not MS with all the wear on her hair!  Edited by Mark1959

53 sharpness net 50. I agree with a combination of a weak strike and light circulation.

Is there any corrosion on the obverse? I can't quite seem to make out if it is corrosion that I am seeing or just toning. I am not sure whether it straight graded AU-55 or got a details for environmental damage.

Has some wear on the hair details, hence the 55AU! Anybody that rates this coin as MS might have to take a peak at the PCGS coin rating website! |
