Love #1. Looks PR62 to me. Surfaces much nicer on coin 1.  Coin 2 has significant striking weakness or through grease on the reverse at 10-11 o'clock. 2nd one doesn't look like a proof strike to me and the planchet doesn't look 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."

Since they both received the same grade, then I'll guess they're both proofs, say PR-63. I too like the first one best.

I agree that the first one is nicer. The reverse of #2 does look off.

The second one doesn't look proof to me, and it's hard to mention price without the grade. Larger pics might help, cropping is easy. I'll take a stab. First one, MS62, but it depends how bad you want it. I might pay $150, but I'm cheap.

The first coin looks like scans so hard to compare when judging one from scans and the other from pics

It is hard to grade the first one from the pictures provided, and I do not think the second one looks like a proof. So... MS-63?

Both coins were graded MS62. I think this coin was massively undergraded. Got a great price on it too. Thanks for all of the help!  |

You chose the right one, and I agree that it looks undergraded by a point.
