The rays type is probably the last upgrade I need for my type set. Hard to find one with a full strike that isn't pushing $2k Thoughts on this one?   |

What are the mark's on the reverse between the letters and the rim? They look like indentations not cracks or clash mark's.

Newer die obverse matched with a well used reverse die. Good solid mostly even strikes. Much better than average luster flow. Excellent reverse stars.
Strait out 65. I would accept this as a Christmas present.

I'll say MS65 as well and if Mox wants to re-gift this to me that's ok.

I don't really like the surfaces of this coin. Choice and gem pieces have even undisturbed luster. This is very far from that. It may be mint state but looks au58 to me. Lots of contact marks on this coin.
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."
