Seller pics a bit hard to see. Took a chance on this for $19. Looks like it might clean up some with acetone and Verdicare. Details for sure, wondering if it could make EF.

If you are looking for a project coin....good luck to you.
Once you attempt restoration, you can never go back...
It has an original look that collectors appreciate!

Might make XF from the detail in the leaves, but cannot see the obverse devices due to the dark toning. Will need to punt for better pictures. Nice for $19 in any event. Congrats.
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 are right. Funny, I was looking at it as a project coin. Be sure I will examine it in hand first before I do anything, if anything.

From what I can see, it looks more like VF details and pretty much beyond hope, but good luck.

Nice price .. I would have picked this one up.

I like coins like this. It is fun to see if a improvement can be made.
