Color looks nice. Scans not the greatest. What do you grade it? Thanks for any/all opinions   |

au53. coin looks attractive, but there may be some scratches above the bow on the wreath. I would look there carefully. very pretty. remember there are many of these around.
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."

I'd be at 55. Surfaces look decent. Toning is nice. But the near graffiti scratches on the reverse blows it for me.

AU-58 minimum to me, scratches do not really bother me given where they are. It's a beauty.

AU55, yeah the scratches are a distraction, but not too bad. Scans? Those look like photos to me.

Thanks all for the opinions! This isn't graded by a TPG, but I think it could perhaps go 60-61. Would you pay 60 money for it considering the toning? Tough one |
