I've had this one for a few months now. I paid $35 for it. A soak in acetone removed a lot, and a 24 hour soak in VC helped quite a bit. I don't have any 'before' photos. I'm considering a year-long soak in olive oil now. I know it's a 'details' coin. It's really close to XF in my opinion. In all honesty, I bought it for the die crack around the stars.   |

I see XF details. I like the coin.
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."

I'm pretty sure that's Newcomb 12, with the LL rev.
It sure gets your attention.

Yeah, some olive oil will probably help.

EF-40 details, environmental damage. the coin looks like a dug coin. personally I would stop with the VC and not use any oil on it.
