XF details cleaned. Like the mark-free surfaces.
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."

You did confirm authenticity correct? It looks like possibly counterfeit. VF Dets, anyway.

I agree with the grade on the 2x2. XF-45 and the surfaces are original.

It is authentic. I grade her as EF-40, though the residual luster suggests an EF-45.
To those above, you are mistaking residual luster for a cleaning.

EF-45 details, surfaces do not look natural.

Looks like I'll stay away from this coin. I thought the surfaces looked original compared to coins I've seen cleaned.

XF-40. I like the price on the holder of 50¢!

EF-40, agree surfaces could be questionable.

there is no way this coin is VF. maybe coin197 was referring to net value. XF45 and it does look it was cleaned and starting to tone over.

To those above, you are mistaking residual luster for a cleaning. This is reasonable observation. It is a compbination of some left over luster and a bit of cleaning, although I don't view the work that's be done to it to be that bad. This is the type coin that might look better in 10 years if it's left lone. |
