A dream coin for many, myself included. This coin was recently sold. Just curious on what you think the grade might be.

I'll say MS-63+ (CN cents are not given a color designation).

photos look like trueview. really cant grade a coin using those.

i always drop the grade by at least 1 point for trueviews so i'll go with PF64 since the photos look to be 65

PR63. Lots of carbon spots.
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 looks moderate on this one, some strong devices and a nice color to boot. The spots are a tad distracting but overall a real beautiful example, I'd say PR64. A major dream coin of mine as well.

Well since the cert number was posted, I guess I will reveal this to be a PR64. CAC and Photoseal too. It is a beauty!

It is graded proof, but is the S-3 which Rick Snow and others say should be MS. I bet it looks good in hand!
