I would leave the authenticity to the experts,but as polished as a brass button over the years.

Despite all its flaws, it is still a beautiful coin. Great detail throughout. Nice.
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 like this one and would have bought it. As an old copper collector and not a dealer who needs to make a profit I can overlook details. Imagine the stories this coin could tell us.

If it could be flipped for a profit, thumbs up.........if not, not very appealing unless bought cheap.
