Last recent arrival. Please give grading and value opinions. I do not have a lot of experience with older stuff yet. Thanks!   |

MS sharpness for sure. What are the marks on obverse? Hopefully not scratches. N-14 early die state. R-4 rarity. CQR gives an approximate value for EAC net grade EF45 at $350 for ave+ surfaces. If net grade goes up to AU50 $450 AU55 $575. Scratches would net grade it down quite a bit.

Other than a slightly weak strike at obverse center, and that single larger hit, it is one smooth character.
55.

AU53 or 55. I'm closer to 53 due to the obverse wear

au58. a beautiful example
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."

This is an ICG holdered MS 63 BN. Was it mis graded or just a tough read with only 2 pictures? Is it worth getting attribution to N-14?
