This coin's surfaces have an unnatural uniformity about them. The color and texture do not look normal but it is a high AU piece apparently lacking any luster and void of any contact marks. It does look genuine.

Pics' make the coin look grainy....."is that a word?"....if its AU without a details designation, I think it would have some luster to it?. still a very nice coin

looks 53-55. nice reverse strike. weak obverse strike. looks like it has remaining peripheral luster but not in the center of the coin. other than reverse details, coin lacks pop. flat hair, flat stars and flat cheek.
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."

55, but if this photo is fairly accurate that and the strike are it's best features. It's pretty drab. For 55 money I'd track down one with a bit of luster or color or both.
