Looks nice, but the obverse pic in particular is too dark to see surface details clearly.

$39 is a great price no matter what. The angle of the reverse photo and the shadow on the obverse make this one hard to grade, as a lot of the surfaces are hidden. There are no major contact marks. The photos make the cheek look like it has a bunch of rub on it, and you can't really see what is going on on it. Grade wise - it really depends what is going on with that cheek. Could be AU-58 to MS-64

tough call with the obv photo. not sure why its completely different than the reverse which is pretty good. makes it difficult to see the surfaces. I'm not seeing any signs of circulation on the reverse so I'm going to assume that. looks like luster is broken across cheek. that would preclude it from MS64.
MS63+

Better obverse photo would help.

Easily an MS63, maybe even a plus. Good deal!

Looks like it has a nice cartwheel and very few marks. The cheek looks a little dark. I think that's why some are seeing a slider. It's tough to tell, but if the luster is there on the cheek I think it is MS64 but if the cheek is rubbed then it would be slider. Maybe a shot showing the luster at the cheek would sway it to 64. Nice coin nevertheless and wirth what you paid no matter which way it goes.

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."
