I just got this back but I don't agree with the grade. What do you think? Maybe I'm missing something. I'll give the grade tomorrow evening.   |

The coin has a lot of luster, but a AU58 would not surprise me as there appears to be circulation rub.

Lighting does not show surface details clearly. Right obverse field looks very scuffy. Better images would help. Please post new pics and wait at least 48 hours before revealing results.

Sharp obverse strike, but with all the circulation marks in the obverse fields, AU-58 is possible.

UNC details damaged. Right obverse looks scrubbed to remove something in the field.
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."

Right obverse field looks questionable and wouldn't normally wear before the high points so I'd guess they flagged it as cleaned?

Yes the right obverse field telling a story maybe of a light removal of an unknown substance . The rest of coin is original and fairly sharp . I'm going with MS-64 Details . 65 Details would not surprise .

Incomplete luster, AU Details Cleaned. Overdipped and maybe wiped.

I'll say they either went with MS-62 tops, but most probably a details grade.

I was going to take a crack at this one but the original photos and lighting made it hard. With the single further away focused obverse shot I agree at 58. The luster does seem a little broken...all that said, I have no experience grading these lol.

I feel like this shouldn't grade straight. With a previous dip I would give it a net AU-55.
