XF40. Not entirely sure about the color.
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."

EF-40, natural tone, never cleaned.
The rim ding at bottom of obverse wouldn't detail it, but it is a distraction.

Obverse is VF30, reverse XF40, net VF35, details, rim bruise @ K5-K6, reverse appears to have environmental damage (light corrosion/porosity) more noticeable around the motto area, legend, and below the eagle.

VF-35 details. Based on the pictures looks like old cleaning. The rim has been filled/repaired on the obverse under the date.

It grades VF35 from a major TPG, no details. What would be a fair price for this coin? What's the grey sheet value? Looking at numismedia they say around $430 for retail value; PCGS says $525, and NGC says $450. |

There is no rim ding, it's a Cud. This exact coin just sold on Heritage for $309. https://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-dol...Lot=1x=0&y=0$309 was a very good price but my concern would be how dark it looks in-hand. Some like dark coins and this look to be a nice example. The buyer had to pay S&H so it was likely $325 delivered. I would not go over $350 for it and would need a return privilege if it's not to my liking when I saw it. Good luck. |

Agree split grade example at VF-35 net; no way the obverse makes that. Most attractive original example, I think.

VF35. I dont see any issues that would pull a details designation.

Wow, a Cud it is. That's the first time I've seen a Cud on one of these and it would definitely increase my interest / bid level accordingly. I still don't like how the reverse seems to be pitted, though.

Out of my own curiosity, why would a Cud make one more interested in this? |
