Looking at a 1844-O half dollar that's graded AU58. I think I can get it for a few hundred. Good deal?

That's what feared. I would avoid it. It's in a basement slab and is far from au-58. Looks more like a 50 and that's being generous. Also looks like environmental at 7:00- 8:00 on the reverse.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the input Mike. I looked at other pictures of 58-60 and it appeared less appealing.

always beware of any slab that is not PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICCS, and I'll be generous and say ICG. Anything else should be treated worse than raw.

Pushing AU-50 sharpness, but obverse looks cleaned. Pass for me.

45. Nicely struck specimen from first decade of the no mint. 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."
