Nice coin, MS62 or 63. Valued at (based on past sales) $325-$500.

I would say yes. That photo is awfully washed out, but the cheek looks very nice. Only a part of the grade, but a good start.

Really difficult to tell, as said photos are washed out so we cannot see real luster. Strike on this year is hit and miss some have really nice hair and breast feathers, or the hair is flat and eagle is flat. It is a coin flip essentially.

Nice cheek but it looks dipped and rubbed in the high points to me. AU details cleaned.
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."

Dipped, probably. But can't really get a handle on possible wear from these pics - too bright.

As everyone can tell, I'm still learning how to do this coin photography thing. Here's an attempt at better pictures   |

I am going to backtrack slightly and open the door for the possibility that the coin may have been struck with a worn late state die giving it a frosted appearance, but can't be sure from pictures. The hazy look of the surfaces and the small shallow scratches don't help it much.

Looking at the coin in hand, this is what I was thinking about it as well. MS63 weak strike from a late state die.
The Baltimore show is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I'm not that far from B'more. I may stop by and drop this one off for grading.
Thanks all for you comments -- and I'll keep working on that photography thing!

Big improvement - I'll agree at a solid 63. Congrats.
