Can I say neither? The first one looks like it has retoned. It has a fingerprint and those white spots on the obverse maybe from an improper rinse after cleaning. The second one is better but I detect some hairlines or slide mark's across the obverse and it seems cleaned also.

46: au58 with rub on the breasts. also scratched between the breasts. obverse fields look wiped. reverse has pretty color.
47: au58 with wipe marks in obverse fields. reverse scratch fron eagle's neck onto left reverse field. nice strike and good luster but not saying Wow to me, just nice and a little blah as far as 58's go.
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."

Prefer the '47, which looks AU-58 to me. I have no problems with the color.

I am at AU-58 for both coins, and I like the first one the best.
