I'll lead off with F-15. Beautiful example.

I have the obverse at vf35 and the reverse at xf40. Due to the uneven surfaces I am going to call it vf35, just short of xf.
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."

I'm at TPG XF40 but it has some slight rim issues that i"m not crazy about ... and a bit of scratching on the obverse above the nose - otherwise a pretty nice coin.... in fact, with the way grading is today, it may even grade at 45 .... Just my opinion.

Solid righteous 30. Nothing too distracting. I like it.

I agree with 30 or 30ish.

i thought TPG could have variance to 45 but that holdered grade seems generous, especially given the lack of luster

 I was thinking F-15 at first, then went to VF35. 55 is way too much. It's still a nice example, but that grade is just too much.

That's just flat-out wrong in my opinion, sorry bobby.

Well it must look better in hand. Despite that it doesn't appear to be a CAC candidate.
