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."

The photos look odd - like they've been heavily edited in some way. Does look PL here, in the 63 range. If toning is right it could pull a +/*

I suspect that the cheek area photo has been "touched up".

not exactly what I expected. Sent me the wrong coin and I think the grift is that I'll be wowed by the toning and decide to keep this low grade common coin. Thoughts?

Wow, that's one ugly Morgan. Now let's see if they will swap out for what you actually paid for or if they refund you only.
