Genuine and attractive looking coin. Looks about AU50 to me. The surfaces look cleaned to me as they don't look like they have any natural oxidation.
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."

I don't see any wear here. Nicks on both sides hold it to MS-63. This coin really pops, congrats.

Surfaces do not look original, AU Details, cleaned. What was the hammer price on this one?

Surfaces don't look original at all.
I'm also curious as to the price paid.

$1700, I overpaid. I don't know about that? Recent auctions show a 62 sell for $2900-$3100 and 63 for $4500-$7800 I guess the question is? Since you have it in hand...does it look cleaned to you? I think it looks beautiful! MS-63 for me smat |

jerry a little too much glare from the lighting to see the surfaces properly. looks like a LDS. check out those rear legs. the split tail is exceptional. without less glare to determine if there is any actual wear I have it at AU58 or MS62 and I'm leaning toward the MS62 side. either way you did fine with that price

The cheek and the hip are pretty smooth from rubbing. There are some signs of wear on the hip. I don't see any fine lines as if it were cleaned. The glare is unavoidable. If I change the lighting, everything is darkened. Here are some pics with the coin at an angle to the light.   |

Surfaces look better there, but based on the angle of the first pics, I'm sticking with a high AU Details coin.
Are you sending this off for grading?

I'm thinking about it. I want to see another one that I won and will then decide whether to send the 2 3-legs and the '15 2 feather in together.
