I just picked this one up. These are the seller's photos, but they look pretty nice. I'm thinking around F-15 with a shot at VF-20. I could be very wrong though. All opinions are welcomed!

I am at F15. Not sure if it was cleaned. Pretty 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."

It's not VF and is closer to VG. F15 would be very generous, I'd call it an F12 with a light, market acceptable cleaning.

Not at all, $25 sounds like a fair price to me.

I'll get some more pictures when it gets here just in case the lighting is off in his photos. But, seems to me that the general consensus is between F12 and F15, which I'm fine with (pun intended).
