A couple of SLDs I'm considering to upgrade my motto type. What do you grade the two of them? #1   #2   |

1. AU55 (possible details as colors look odd/retoned)
2. XF45 borderline au
IMO I like the second one more.

I would go with the 1st one. I don't like the splotchy colors on the 2nd one. #1 also looks mid au, #2 xf+

53, 40. The first is a much nicer 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."

The first is cleaned, indicated by the glossy surfaces and dark halos around the devices. Automatic no-go for me. AU details. The second is completely original (which is extremely hard to find with Seated dollars). I would say AU-50 with a weak strike. Go for this one. |

Looks wise, I like the second one best and grade it XF-45 but would not be surprised to see it in an AU-50 or 53 holder.
