Any thoughts on grade and originality? May have been cleaned long ago but aged well

First thought it was VF-30. Perhaps there is better hair detail if taken at a different angle? Looks original to me.

Imo it is knocking on the door of XF. The reverse shows a considerable amount of detail on the right wing.
Unsure if it original or not.

The coin was almost black it looks way better now. It must've been in a very damp and dirty area, thankfully the ms70 didn't strip off the nice patina, only the grime and the acetone helped the second layer too. This now resides in my type set.

My first thought was VF-30, but I see nothing to disagree with the previous posters. Nice buy for $100!

I agree with the above assessment...VF30...maybe 35 due to overall eye appeal.

The wear on Liberty's hair says VF-30 to me, but the eagle's feathers are a definite XF. It has a very nice look to it.

By modern TPG standards it is very close to XF40. Traditionally I believe this coin would have graded Choice Very Fine. |

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."
