Hi, just picked this up, but since I'm new to US coins, I'm not too sure about this grade. Thanks for your input.   |

Hello and welcome to the grading forum. This coin looks uncirculated at MS60 but appears harshly cleaned. Looks like someone may have taken a wire brush to it. Just my opinion.
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."

Looks like a bit of wear on obv and not just weak strike but hard to tell from this image. So high AU details and harshly cleaned.

AU 58 Dets, Whizzed. Eww - likely brushed with a fine wire wheel (Whizzed like Coin197 indicated".) WAS a nice coin until an "expert" ruined it trying to make it more "shiny"! Like I said befor - I hate the word "SHINY" Edited by Mark1959

Low AU details, whizzed. Unfortunately that destroys the value of the coin completely so this one is worth melt.

The good thing is that I bought this for below melt value. This has been very instructive
