Using seller photos for this one (cropped and moved to black background.) Don't need this coin but wasn't going to pass on it for $13 despite being a common variety. 1844 Braided Hair Large Cent Newcomb N-5 (R1) E-MDS Thoughts on a grade?

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."

Coinfrog, I'll definitely reshoot it once I get it in hand and update the thread. Just using the seller's photos for now.

Came in today, Blue Ribbon soak was done for a little while. These are high res photos with a lot of light, it's darker in-hand.

Looks cleaned, especially in the obverse. The two rim dings at star 1 at obverse and U in United in the reverse don't appear in the original pics. It looks quite different from the original pics which showed natural surfaces..
