Thanks for the input thus far.
I know nothing about VAMs...need to get educated on this topic.

Hard to tell if it's Unc from the pictures. Pretty flat on the hair above the ear. I'd bet AU 58. Too many dings and hits. Could be Unc, though. But it has way cool clash marks on each side. I'd buy it for the clash marks.

I think this coin has obverse surface damage and is unc details. The areas to the left of the nose, the right of the eye, on the neck and the right of the cap and hair in the field do not look like contact marks.
The toned reverse is stunning.
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 date is fairly common on the Bay. I think you can find a nicer example if you are looking to buy one. I would give this one no better than MS61-62

Seller had it listed as ch unc. I went ahead and got it for $47 to fill the album hole. Price is right if the consensus is AU+  Not really interested in slabs unless it's a good deal. I crack them open  Edited by andywoj00

Yep, I saw those after the fact. Probably jumped too soon on the one I got due to liking the toning....lesson learned  Edited by andywoj00

hey, as long as you like it... I like the reverse toning on that coin too.
