Purchased as "VF-20" for $24 though I'm seeing it more as EX? Anyone want to suggest a grade/price? Sorry pics look like crap, I'm working on better ones now   Edited by PatrickM

Looks VF30 to me. Concerned about color and surfaces. Color is weird white and chalky but the surface doesn't look porous from these pictures. Would need better pics. How do the surfaces look?

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'd agree with 30. Those first photos really make a nice coin look terrible. Too much white balance?

Nice color. Thanks. Details on leaves in the reverse suggest VF. Detail may be washed out by lighting, but I don't see XF detail there.

Thanks for the insight, I think I see VF-30 too now that you pointed out the leaves. The front I feel like the face detail is slightly better than my book shows for VF

Obv looks VF35. Reverse VF30. the pics are really bad so its hard to determine if there are any issues with the coin. try using a solid color background in natural light. it looks like you had overhead incandescent lighting that is washing out the coin
