I agree. From the pictures it does look cleaned and wouldn't be market acceptable. For $100 it's not so bad, I guess. Congrats on the  ! |

May have bickered a bit on price. Nice original skin can be had for $20 more. Would have offered $80, the cleaning wasn't done well in a conservatory way and has ruined it for future, won't color ot nicely now. But as said, your collection, I too am a cheaper coin buyer that will pick up a bargain like that, my current resident is a nice Chinese faker!  |

Au details cleaned. Cleaning doesn't look so bad. Nice for a Benjamin.  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."

Extra Fine, details, cleaned.
Not a terrible price. I still recommend saving longer, buying fewer coins, and get examples you will never need to upgrade.

The coin is not unattractive and was well bought for the price, perhaps even a bargain. I'd like to find the guy selling problem-free XF Trade dollars for $120, though. Rinse it in acetone to remove any residual gunk on the coin, and then let it sit somewhere, and it might even retone.

I have no idea how to grade these. I paid $100. My LCS mainly deals in bullion and he didn't know much either. Said I could return if I wanted so I thought I would give it a shot and get some help with it. What is the grade? Did I do ok on this purchase? From the research I have done it is not a counterfeit. I wanted something descent for my type set without breaking the bank. I want to be able to get most of my money out of if I decide to upgrade later. Thank you for any help.
