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."

Hard to tell with current pictures, but maybe AU or low MS.
Errers and Varietys.

UNC details cleaned. It is hard to tell with the toning but I think I see some wipeing lines on the face and obv right field?
I belive the toning is from one or a few older dips that wasnt washed off properly. I bought some silvercoins many years ago that had no toning but after a few years they all looked brown like your coins reverse left side.
This is a scarcer date I belive and maybe a candidate for restoration?

$242 for an 1894-O that appears high AU or low MS. Run Forest run. Why would someone leave $500 - $2000 on the table by not having it certified ?

If sellers pics, there may be a reason for blurred reverse....

It looks like it's been cleaned and retoned, possibly even artificially toned. It's AU Details for me pending better pics.
