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."

Pics are a bit fuzzy so it's difficult to judge condition. That's about what a PCGS MS63 sells for, although I have seen MS64 for less.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Pictures aren't great but I examined them carefully and hardly saw any contact marks in the photos. One of the best parts of coin collecting is that every time a coin is en route it feels like Xmas is coming.

The St. Gaudin's double eagle is a beautiful coin, one of my favourites.

I don't really know how to grade these, I can only sit and drool at them.

That's not a 65 to me. Still think you'll be fine at that price.
