Trade dollar looks about VF20 details cleaned with rim damage. There seems to be a severe rim ding in the Trade dollar with a 1" flattening at 4 o'clock. It also seems strange that if the ding is at 4 o'clock on the obverse it should be at 2 o'clock on the reverse when you flip it over. But it looks to appear at 4 o'clock on both sides which makes the obverse and reverse design positioning more than a little strange.
The half looks about AU55 and very sharp but looks overdipped by the look of the halos around the stars and fields stripped of luster. AU details cleaned.

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."
