Thoughts on this one? I love the original look on this coin. Pics zoomed in so it may make the surface appear a bit more blurry than it really is.   |

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."

Not crazy about this one. I like coins with character. This one looks lifeless. Agree with the grade. This is the look I shoot for with Seated halves. Much easier to find than slds.   |

As you say, not the clearest of pics. No eye appeal. TPG probably gave it an EX40. |

It's a pretty plainly Jane (or Joe) in 40. Nothing distracting and really nothing bad. Just plain.

As noted, the reverse is a higher grade than the obverse. Overall I think it grades XF40
