au details - cleaned
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."

Thanks could you give me an idea of what you see that makes you know it's been cleaned? Trying to learn what to look for.
thanks again,
Blair

The fields and devices show lots of non-random scratches that indicate that the coin was abrasively cleaned with a brush. Because the scratches follow patterns, these aren't random bag-marks or marks from circulation. Coin still shows luster and was likely very attractive prior to the cleaning.

I think my flash is adding to what is actually there. Not saying that there are no scratches but to be honest I think at worst it has been wiped with a cloth. There are scratches above "in God we Trust" but there is only 1 or 2 scratches more like bag damage on the face of the sun, though it looks like more from the photo. on the reverse there are scratches between the eagles legs, below it's beak and above it's wings but not behind it's wings. To be honest it looks like someone "spot wiped" it.   But.... it will have a nice place in my collection. thanks everyone! Blair |
