XF45 with lovely surfaces.  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."

that's a pricey coin in this grade. I would say its vf 35 sharpness. Nice color and surfaces.

Very nice pickup, now you need the large date 1857 to go with it!

Barely got this one - if the bid had gone up $2 more, I'd have been knocked out!

could be lighting but the right side of the obv looks like the original skin has been removed as well as the bottom 1/3 of the rev

Would need to see a better photo of the scratch right of the date.

Appears original. I've also got it at VF35
Tad too much wear for a 40 IMHO.
Scarce coin. Nice pickup!

I'm surprised at seeing no updated comments on this coin. The coin in-hand is between 35 and 40 to my eye, but I could see it making 40 after looking at a lot of 40 slabbed examples.

EF-40, decent looking even with the minor scratches.

From what I've seen researching this, the small scratch beside the date would probably be OK, but who knows. If it makes a straight 40 I'd be pleased. Trying to pick coins to send in now.

The scratch behind the 7 might be the only issue.
