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."

I'll say EF-45, possibly AU-50. I would not have paid what you paid.  |

Delicious chocolaty flavor. AU53
I like the upright 5's. I seem to see them less than slanted.

I'm torn on this one. I think its either AU55 or MS61BN. I'm leaning to the MS side

Remarkable for the apparent lack of abrasion.
If not for those obvious wear spots in the hair I would have said MS61BN. Assuming the surfaces haven't been tampered with in a way that we can't see, I'm gonna say AU 58.

The coin does not look natural. I will wait for photos in hand.

There doesn't appear to be any luster but there doesn't appear to be much wear either. Slider23 notes a color issue that I felt might be a problem too. Assuming it straight grades I'd guess 55 or 58.
