Hints, but no cheating by checking the pop reports... - No it's not counterfeit
- Yes those are slab prongs (NGC if you don't recognize them they look huge because a trime is only 14mm)
- No it's not details graded (yeah, double headshake on that)
- Pop is 1 at this grade...
- Seller's photos original size but cropped

XF-45. But I've seen coin of this quality in AU-50 holders. Tough coin for sure!

No idea how to grade this but prices seem reasonable across the board for a coin with a mintage of 1,000.  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."

Hints of rub, more strongly noted on obverse. Lines on obverse top are roller marks, I believe.
All.The little tiny scratches appear to be die polishing.
AU-53. A super hard coin to nail down.

Lines on top of obverse look like a fingerprint to me.

I saw this one a week ago. So I won't guess. Pretty interesting I thought at the time.
