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."

It looks close to XF with Questionable Toning. If it graded then I agree with VF35.

I'm thinking the unnatural color looks cleaned to me.

Weird toning. It does looked cleaned and retoned but  Maybe it's that crazy Wayte Raymond toning going on? My guess is this is AU since that seems to be Mike's target grade for SLDs...either that or XF-45. |

I just came across this thread today. I put a bid on the coin last night, and I am the current high bidder at Heritage. I need a PCGS Seated dollar for my type set. The coin sold at Heritage this year in a NGC holder for $528. The coin is now in a PCGS holder. Both NGC and PCGS gave the coin the same straight grade. I agree the reverse on the coin does have some strange toning, but I liked the color. If I had seen this thread, I would of not bid on the coin. My current bid stands at $528. |

EF-40 it sounds like you fell for the toning, the important thing is " you like it",but do not bid anymore if it goes above yours, just bail out!

Yeah I was scratching my head on the reverse toning as well. I think the obverse is palatable and might be genuine. But the reverse leads me to believe this was a sulfur job. I didn't bid and don't plan to bid on this one. If you win it please post pics of the coin under some light.

My bid did not last long as the coin is at $552.00. I am done bidding on this coin.
MikeF, you may want to give the grade as it is over 48hrs.

I'd call it XF-45. The toning could be artificial but I'm not shocked it received a straight grade. Personally I'd hold out for an example with more eye appeal.

The PCGS coin sold for $660 a strong increase considering the coin sold a year ago in an NGC holder for $528.

There were 31 people tracking it. Smells like a bidding war. I fell asleep so didn't get to watch live.
