Sellers pics. Was thinking about bidding, but unsure of the coloring. What do you all think of the coloring and grade?   |

AU55
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."

AU sharpness. Can't comment on color from just pictures. I do like it.

Looks similar to AU-53 to AU-55 specimens I've seen. I'm not great at determining straight grades vs details.
It's a beautiful coin.
EDIT: The photograph is slightly blurry. It might be hiding minor issues.

I also see signs of cleaning. Might straight grade XF but let someone else take the risk.
