Looks like it could be a winner. Slightly better date, too, in XF and above.

@sh521932, you should start a new thread for discussion of your coin. If you want comparisons to your coin, maybe link OP's coin in your thread.

OP, obverse pictures are blurry but the coin looks nicely struck on both sides in all the focal points. The surfaces do not show even luster so I am at high AU but could change my mind with better pics.

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."

Numismatic yes a bit blurry . I am on the fence . He wanted 119.00 but is willing to take 92.00
I still think its a bit high for a ungraded AU coin but could be nicer than the pics indicate .
I may try and get it a tad lower or may take it since it has return privy and hope its nicer.

There is a mark/scratch in the hair under the O of OF in the obverse and another above the second I in III in the reverse. Those would be the principal areas of concern.

This looks like a solid 1872. The reverse looks AU-53. The obverse is a bit harder to evaluate because of the blurry picture. I see mid-AU detail on the top knot and hair curls, but a bit more iffy clarity on the jewels in the tiara and lettering in LIBERTY. The hairlines on the reverse suggest an old wiping, but it definitely looks market acceptable in the pics. The surfaces are even color and don't show any serious knocks.

There's a decent price jump from EF-45 to AU-50. If it's at least AU-50, it looks like a solid coin for the price. If the seller has return privileges or could provide a clearer obverse photo, you may be able to get a better feel for this one. Again, it looks like a solid coin.
