I see luster, so AU. But there are massive scratches on the obverse, so details.

Rotating coins.   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."

This is a different shot of the same coin at a different lighting angle. It shows the nice toning and again, the large scratches on the head and neck are plastic, not the coin.

Sorry, I have to strip the orientation tag put on by my phone every time. Once I take the zilion screws off to take the coin out of the plastic it will be beautiful. The coin has beautiful surfaces.

Now I'm hot and bothered about seeing that dime out of that plastic.
Looks high EF, but still details for a previous cleaning, although the second set of photos doesn't show as much damage from the cleaning. May retone, too.

If it's the holder that's causing all this commotion ,then you need a new holder . But take more photos before it's new home .  |
