EF-40 or 45 detail but it looks cleaned and retoned to me. Appears to have a shallow pin scratch below A in STATES. The drab color scheme negatively affects eye appeal IMO.  |

I would also say AU50. There is a PCGS one on Stacks and Bowers right now that is AU53 that may just be a little better especially in the stars.

XF 45
The surface seem to have a off look ...
Not sure if it was not stored well .. and did not tone well
Or was cleaned a long time ago ..
or just how the pictures are making it look.

Here are some pictures taken with my old camera. Maybe a more natural look in these? Sorry folks. Thank You for the comments, Joe2007   Edited by Joe2007

This coin has NOT been cleaned. The pictures are blurry but It's enough to convince me that the coin original. I believe it could slide into au-50. This is what a naturally toned seated coin looks like. The left facing leg and claws pm the obverse are hurting the net grade.

au50, maybe 53
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."

The picture is a bit blury, but I'd say EF-45 also. I don't see "cleaned" in this coin's state of preservation.
