A recent purchase of mine. Thought it would be a fun one to put up here, with all the toning. What do you think?   |

Endroll 64 but tough to tell through the toning.
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."

Au-58 to me appears to have some rub.

I'll say MS-64, that vertical line on the obverse bothers me.

Through the toned obverse I think I can see a few hits and scratches. The reverse isn't perfect with a few marks. From what I can see I think its about MS64 maybe MS63+.

In truth, any opinion here is just a shot in the dark.

The gunk on the reverse tells me its a very nice slider UNC. AU58.

Put me down for AU58. High points show light rub on the reverse, and you can't tell much about the obverse.

Luster looks pretty solid, enough to confirm MS I think. Unless the obverse toning hides some serious marks an MS-64 seems possible.

I like it, including the toning striations on the obverse.
I do see tiny flat spots in the tiara flowers that are probably wear, and make me think AU58, but calling them strike-related could lift this pretty coin all the way to MS64.
Anyway it's a great coin.
