I traded for two straight graded 1891 O VAM 3a1 I am going to move 1 so trying to decide the best to keep. Not my photos and I will try and get more. Personally I think this one is nicer but lets see what peeps say. Sorry that the lights are in the way on top. After this I only need 1 coin to my complete E set   |

Toning makes it tough to see the luster but I think it's unc and pretty clean in terms of hits. Enlarging the obverse shows some hits in the cheek. I'm going to guess MS63 with low confidence. Nice looking coin tho.  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."

Strike is stronger on this one, especially the reverse. Not a fan of the obverse toning/staining personally . AU55, reverse looks like it could be AU58 though. Tough to tell

I'm not 100% convinced it was circulated using these photos. technically AU55 or MS63. I think the eye appeal would drop it a notch to AU53 or MS62. if you twisted my arm i'd have to go with AU53

I believe AU-55 is spot on.

Just got her today. Coin looks AU-58 as far as detail. I think the toning may of held her down a grade . Pleasing in hand minus the dark toning line on here cheek . Reminds me of big sideburns haha.
