Picked this up for $62. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!  Color is weird, but I hope it is the seller's photography and looks different in hand. Also thoughts on the obverse doubling would be appreciated.   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."

You're not gonna like that corrosion. That won't clean up. Nice looking coin if it wasn't for that.

 , AU-58 That corrosion had to come from a slightly circulated coin . Too bad .  |

AU-58. Verdi-care may actually make a difference on this one.

Sorry Mr.Frog, but I have to disagree with you . Verdi-Care will not fix this coin . IMHO .  |

Except for the spots it's a nice coin. Would grade AU-50 perhaps 53 otherwise.

From those pictures, I would think AU-58 (and probably Details).
