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."

this one has a similar look to the 1845 dollar you posted previously. the coin looks like it was cleaned and all the original surfaces have been removed. there is something going on around the Y on the shield as well as other marks on the shield. UNC details in my book
This came in. Coin has full luster and cartwheels beautifully. Thoughts? Thanks!

Added a short video to show surfaces better. Not perfect, but better than the pictures.

Nice 1876-S Type 1. Another date with lots of die marriages, but it looks like it may be WB-32 (die marriage 26T). If it is WB-32, obverse die 26 is pitted (rusted?), and has several small die chips, especially in the shield.
I see very little evidence of circulation, with some wear in the usual high points. The obverse die is worn, so that affects the appearance a bit. The reverse wear is fully consistent with a strong slider.
IMHO, old cleaning, market acceptable. One thing that gives me pause is what could be mild surface doctoring on the scratches west of the rock and between the "1" and the rock support. I don't think it's enough for a 94 code, but it does detract a bit from the overall appearance.
At $290, the price is spot on for a mid-to-high AU.
(BTW, it might be a fun variety collection to try to assemble a full variety set for this date. Last I heard, there are at least 48 known die marriages, with new marriages still being found off and on.)
