Can anyone tell me if this coin would be slab-able with the Carbon Spots on the reverse. and also, what grade would you give it? Thank you for your time!   |

The color looks a little funky, it was probably dipped at some point.

i think the carbon spots are insignificant considering the tone I see on the coin. :(

Agree a details coin just based on color.

I agree.
The color is just wrong.
It's been cleaned (dipped).

Thanks everyone, let me now if these give it any chance at being anything better then details. Also, I cant show in the photos but is does exhibit cartwheel luster, not sure if a dipped coin would have that.   Edited by Jsalsa123

Pictures do not always tell the whole story. This coin has some oxidation issues but could still grade clean. But, to be honest, it is not especially attractive, and I doubt that even a straight grade would enhance the value much.

Thanks Coinfrog. I will just keep it and imagine that onetime someone received this coin while Abraham Lincoln was president and the country was at war.

Nice looking 2 center but, need a lot better photos and no glare on said coin to be able to really tell could very well be, mint state.

very nice except for the color. unc details.
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 took it out of the holder. I tried to get better lighting. Would details be due to the corrosion?   |
