au53. Toning is not attractive and seems to have some staining at the reverse rim.
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."

 with 55. I disagree with notes against this toning. I like both sides having strike and tone nearly equal. I love the color. I have a 62 with that monotone near Orange Brown, and I love it. This is probably one of those coins that has to be in hand to be appreciated. |

I was thinking more that liberty just came out of a coal mine with a face covered in soot.

Shot AU-58. Are those stains at K7-8 on reverse?
