Been awhile since I have been able to find anything to buy at a reasonable price on the bay. This one looked decent for $20. I think its an N-30 R-4 https://www.ebay.com/itm/235228705824 |

Well, I think that was cheap for an AU-55 or so in grade...  |

I'd be wary of those obverse surfaces.

au53. I would also be concerned about the left obv surface.
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."

only reason I was able to get the coin for $20 was the left obverse. Would have been double to triple the price with no issues. Hoping that the coin looks better in hand but even if it doesn't I think I can sell it for $20+

figures you would say that. Even in skudsy condition that die variety in vf-30 EAC sharpness is worth over $20. This one sold recently for $40. Which coin would you prefer? https://www.ebay.com/itm/235172363327Edited by jerryc39

AU50/53 but I'm with coinfrog on the obverse. the coin appears to be cleaned based on the photo. the glare from the lighting could be altering the surfaces here.
lets see this one when in hand
