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."

Agree with AU-58. This coin has seen light circulation.

AU for sure.
I'm just curious...why did you over pay so much?

Looks like an AU+ slider to me too. Miss Liberty's hair suggests the strike wasn't the greatest so I'd say AU58.

this is one i'd like to see in hand as I'm not 100% convinced it was circulated. I'm looking at all the high points of the coin and not seeing and evidence of wear or even missing luster from just rub.
the 87(P) should be sharp and bold and the strike on this one is weaker than normal. I think she has been banged around a good bit.
i think its low MS and I'm at MS62

AU-58. If there are no luster breaks when rotating it, then it could go MS-62 with a weaker strike, like panzaldi said.

I agree with the AU/MS consensus. Hard to tell for sure from the photos. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Bump-I keep forgetting that ebay these are considered a good or fair price. I do most of my purchasing in person, I understand though not everyone has the opportunity to do the same. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
