$51. Thoughts? Thanks!

Tried again with a new set of pictures with my wife's phone which apparently focuses better than mine.

My phone appears to be taking awful pictures. Too cheap to get a new one. Old pics for reference.

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."

Terrible pics, too soft to see surface detals clearly. C'mon.

She's got acne on her cheek (or so it would appear) but this is at least a 63. Pictures are fine for me and appear to be in focus. All of the neat die cracks are an added bonus.

Gotta love those die cracks! I agree that this is walking a fine line between 63 and 64. My guess is that the cheek issues don't look as serious in hand and lean toward 64. When I get to my computer I'm going to try determining variety if possible.

Edit: I can't tell on my phone - is that a die break on the "S" in pluribus?

This may be a die stage in the VAM-1e series...

I'm pretty sure he bought a roll and divided the roll price by 20.

i think its stubble and she forgot to shave.

tough call between 63 and 64. it may come down to the amount of luster remaining particularly across the cheek and jaw line which is hard to see here
