Clearly undergraded.

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."

The CAC gold sticker drives the price up. The gold sticker coins typically start at the next grade up.

My first thoughts before I saw the grade was MS65+ to MS66+ so it's in line with my thoughts on the coin the price it sold for though? That was over the 66+ PCGS market price, which is usually over priced to begin with, so I don't know, someone or two really wanted this coin, to bid it up that high. I think it's a $1150-1300 coin at best.

All that aside it's super clean, blast white and with very original surfaces, as well as a Gold bean from CAC. That I'm sure, is one reason the price went high as it did. It's also an older holder so the new owner is probably thinking of an upgrade if they are a dealer, I'd just put it away for a decade or two if possible, probably a good investment coin.

It's one of the nicest I've seen in the later dates in a long time.
