Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!   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."

This one is all over the place. The toning LOOKS very artificial, but is in the realm of possible but not probable. Also looks like some shooting stars on left 2 and 3. Are those cleaning scratches, or die scratches? There does seem to be some wear on the hair, consistent with AU55 or so. The reverse, seems like 50 C was struck with a partially Grease Filled Die. Or just a weak strike. Very tough to say for certain but my gut would say beautiful but AU details. |

Wow, crazy toning. I think it is secondary album toning vs. AT but  EF-45 for the grade? Is it in a TPG holder? |

I won't comment b/c I have already seen this coin. The grading game is much more exciting when users post coins they are actually considering for acquisition.

AU Details AT. Most likely the TPG gave the coin a straight grade. |

Bizarre toning, you either love it or hate it. Hard to imagine how it toned that way, but might be natural. The reverse has MS sharpness with nice luster. The obverse has some flatness, but not sure it's wear. I'd say MS-62.

AU-55 but the look is worrisome to me.

I must be way off on my grade. Thought I saw wear on the breast, drapery, hair and eagles talons. I guess maybe this is one you need to see in hand.

I don't buy every coin I post, but they are all coins I am thinking about buying. I made some money recently and looking to buy a few coins more expensive than I have recently been purchasing. Thanks for all the help to all.
