I'll say AU-53, perhaps 55. The images are inconsistent.

Mid AU. Looks like original surfaces. I'll say AU-55.

55
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 series is tough to grade without the coin in hand. Appears to have some circulation rub - so I concur with mid-AU. Nice key date coin.  |

I'm between AU-55 and AU-58. I lean more toward 55 due to luster. The weak hair detail is a striking issue on these more so than wear. The eagle wing has just a touch of rub. Still a nice example of a key date!

AU-58 with the possibility of MS-62. The lack of luster on the central devices could be from an incomplete strike, which is expected for this issue.

I guess I am still not good at grading because I was going with MS-61. I think we would need to see it out of the 2x2 to tell if cleaned or not. I have always wanted one but always out of my budget. John1  |

The luster on the coin is muted maybe from a strong old dip. The coin has the typical soft strike on hair and eagle's wing from the pressure being turned down on the press. The fields on the coin are not showing any signs of circulation. The flatness on the eagle's wing is strike not wear, and the high point the tip of the wing does not appear to have wear. The center of the neck does not appear to show any circulation rub, and the neck ridge is not showing wear. From the photos, I am at MS62. If there is circulation rub on the cheek and neck the grade needs to drop down to AU58.
On this coin a fair grade for both buyer and seller may be AU58.

I'm at AU- 53 on this one. If it is lustrous it may be 55.
