65rb. Could be higher. I don't see any marks on this coin.
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."

Thanks so far......Here are the pics I bought this from. The spot above the first feather is troubling, but not a huge concern. Lovely coin either way!   |

Funny , I know it's the same coin but why does he first 8 look different between the two examples ?  |

I've submitted dozens of Indians for grading over the years. In my view, the freckled carbon spotting on the obverse, and the major spot above the first feather, along with an overall lack of luster, leave this at an average MS-63 from the curb.

 subdued luster and overall surface preservation will keep this below GEM, first thought was MS63, carbon spots make get a pass given the lack of contact marks, may get a bump to MS63+. Nice example nonetheless! |
