58 and very attractive. Full head would depend on the grading service. NGC... highly unlikely. PCGS and it has a shot.

Unc details scratched due to big gash in left thigh.
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."

Edit: If the price is "right" and if you like it, I suppose purchasing is an option for you. Edited by Coconutjoe

NGC = 58. PCGS = 58 FH.
Nothing severe enough to detail it - BUT it might detail for being dipped. Luster doesn't flow in the fields.

Pics are the best to judge from, but I'll go AU-58 straight. Very nice example.

At least AU-55 and problem-free for TPG purposes. Looks FH for any service. The toning spot by the date is a small negative but I for one could live with it. Nice coin! |

I was following this auction as well, I remember the spot near the date and the scratch on the thigh. I also wondered about the marks on the knee and dress, looks like it was drug across something. Those marks probably aren't enough to get a details grade though.
The rest of the coin is very attractive, and I wouldn't be shocked if it grades AU 58 FH at PCGS. There is just a slight rub on the head, but prob not enough to ding it off of FH.
I hope it looks even better in hand than the photos. Congrats!
