Thought $22 was a decent price. Reverse is a bit colorful, but might clean up a bit. I liked the look of this one. VF details maybe?

Would like to see it after addressing the green.
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."

Verdigris I believe.
Be interesting to see the surfaces after it's removed.

Verdi care would help. Not really gradeable now. After treatment

Very Fine, details, environmental damage.

I would also love to see after verdicare photos.

Really decent price for that variety.

Not a bargain. Verdi-Care may help, but chances are the surface below the ED will remain discolored or worse.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah VF details is what I thought. Obverse fields look really smooth. It will always be a details coin. Will post pics after the "conservation" effort. Glad Jerry didn't see it first

Got most of the verdigris off and neutralized the rest, with Verdicare and a thorn. Could probably go over it again, but generally happy with the results. Still VF details all the way, but wanted to show the outcome. I'm retired now Jerry, it's gonna get tougher out there
