Here's another one that's going to PCGS this week. What would your grade be?   |

65 with typical weak strike in the center
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."

a tad weak for an 03(O) but in the strike range. glare makes it a challenge to determine if all the luster is there for a 65. I'm going with IGE on this one MS64 but if all the luster is there and unbroken its a 65. specifically look at the nose and cheek on this one.

Looks like MS65 really clean.

I'll say MS-64, possibly MS-65.
Errers and Varietys.

I'd say you've got a nice MS-65.

Looks like a gem. The reverse is 66 or better but the obverse holds it back. Solid 65 overall, with great eye appeal.

Thanks, everyone, I'm at MS-65. I'll update the thread when it comes back from PCGS.

Just wanted to update this thread. I finally got the coin back from PCGS. Was hoping for a 65, but it could have gone either way.   |

Tough break, but still a knockout coin.

With the new photos, I think the bit of rub on the cheek might of held it back from Gem.
