F15
Looks like it might have a little clashing on the obverse.

Panzaldi: Yes, PCGS has registered its opinion. Your turn!

Lovely example of early USA coinage history.  I say F15. |

PCGS was a bit less impressed than the rest of us. I thought it was undergraded when I found it, but others did too, so it still cost me a little over $800 when the auction was done. Holding on to this one, at least for awhile.  |

B-o-o! Well, grade aside, it's a knockout coin.

Looks like a lot of weight was placed on the reverse which looks poorly struck. It's one of those coins that you wish looked better on the other side, but it's always better to have a good obverse than vice versa.
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."

I think numismatic student got it - the weakly struck reverse pulled it down. The obverse is fantastic, I am not an expert on these but it was pushing close to VF to me.
