This one seems corroded and grading at details. Any ideas on grade, value as details and anything I should do to stabilize the coin? Don't know the first thing about restoration. Also don't recall what I paid for this one; it was a while ago. Thanks!

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."

It has been cleaned and is somewhat porous but I do not see any active corrosion; I'd leave it alone for now.
My grade VG8 cleaned/porous.

F-12 details, cleaned. I wouldn't suggest messing with it in any way.

No conservation needed as noted. I'll split the difference and say VG10 detail. No Stems with light corrosion in VG+ is about $50 retail I'd guess. Wholesale would probably be half of that amount.

WOW! Great coin.
Were you working on a type set when you began collecting?
