There's a little wear on the hair and talons, but a beautiful coin! EF45 - AU53. The scratch isn't real big, looks like maybe a staple scratch...

That small scratch will be acceptable in the problem free camp.
I'm at AU53 on this one. Nice color and eye appeal.

Scratch in field in front of Lib's eye detracts a little.
AU-55.

AU-53 straight. It is a toss-up whether or not it will detail, I am leaning toward a straight grade.

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'd say AU-50. I'm not convinced that color is original.

AU53 straight grade. If it was ever cleaned it is retoned enough and acceptable. Far worse coins in straight holders.
