There's a little bit of luster but not much.   |

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."

With greenish & brownish patina, this looks like an ED coin. Then cleaned, or circulated heavily to become like this.
Not too crazy about the looks. As for the grade, EF45, details coin.

Prime candidate for some acetone love. I think the green is PVC residue.

I think the green is PVC residue. Yeah, I was worried about that too. When I get the chance I'll inspect it to see if it needs acetone. |

I'd with with EF-40 too. Nice detail on the breast & wing feathers, you can still see her toes, and the detail on the shield and walls.

At least EF-45 sharpness, possible old partial cleaning.

I bet this coin looks better in hand. I'd say XF-45 at 1st glance. But the eagle feathers tell me AU-50. Obverse strike weak especially on the bottom shield and head.
