Hey all, I have a submission coming back next week and thought I'd share some of the results. I'm curious to get opinions on these two, I'll post results tomorrow. Enjoy!

MS63 on the top coin and AU-58 on the bottom. Would be easier in hand but taking a stab at it.

Both MS-64, with nice luster, breast feathers on both reasonably well struck up.
Black spot near eye detracts a bit.

65 and 66.
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."

MS63 I think the carbon spots may lower the grade

You guys have made me feel better about submitting them. I was in the MS63-64 camp when I sent them in, and yet.....

These were both part of a "Restoration" submission, by the way. I'll probably post another later tonight or tomorrow if anyone is interested. Thanks as always for your opinions and insight, I really appreciate it.

Does anyone know from these pictures what might have been done to the Reverse to "alter" it?
