Looks good to me.
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."

If that's a counterfeit, it would be the best counterfeit I've ever seen and I would be scared to buy any more coins.

Something looks off, although I can't quite put my finger on it

The 2 in the date looks malformed. Sharper photos would be helpful....

 clearer photos are needed. That would be a whopper of a coin. |

Date looks all wrong. May be a genuine coin where the date was altered (e.g. from 1926-1929), or the date was shaved off then had the edge drilled and metal pushed up. In addition, the area where the date is located seems to be the 1925 and later type, but it's hard to tell from these tiny photos.

It looks to be full head MS65 type 23-S. If it is real it is an expensive coin. How much does it cost? This would be key to me. Nobody is going to sell that coin for less than about $7000.

I blew up these pics with my software but couldn't do much for the clarity. The 2 does look fishy but this coin doesn't come in any other date that ends in 3 so it would seem an altered date would pick on the last digit.   |
