Quite nice. Looks like there's quite a few small marks/scratches on the obverse. If you feel comfortable saying, how much did you pay?

You got a deal for $35. I'm assuming 35 USD right?
This coin is well struck with strong detail remaining, XF40 or so. It has been cleaned but not harshly so it should still be worth $70 retail. It is a Small Stars No Drapery variety.

EF-40. Is that a scratch by the foot?

I think it makes 40 and has great eye appeal. Wish I could buy it for $35.  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."
