Miscolor toning on some areas make it appear to have rub on the obverse, but I see no rub on the reverse. Fields do show a bit of disturbance. I'd go 58, but exceptionally nice eye appeal.

 58. An excellent specimen. What did the TPG give it? Edited by SilverDollar2017

au details cleaned
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."

To me it's ok but not great. I'm super fussy with these so I'm probably the last guy you should listen to. I like to see uniform natural toning. Only half of the coin has toned on this example. Just not a fan of blasty whites with uneven toning.

Cac doesn't sticker cleaned coins and originality is huge with them.
58 but think they may have given it a 55.

I'll say 55, and indeed it is sweet.

Graded PCGS AU 55. The best of both worlds IMO. PCGS graded and stickered by CAC. A very nice coin for a CH AU Type set.

Seems a shame to tag this as 'Almost' uncirculated when it shows almost no wear at all  . This is an education oriented forum, so I would be glad to learn why it would not earn at least MS62. Looks sharper than any of the MS examples on PCGS Photograde, so what am I missing? Maybe a little bit of wear on the leg and a few minor nicks that were likely bag marks? |
