I know it has a nasty ding in the rim, but what grade would you give this coin. Thanks!   |

vf detail - rim damage
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 chunk was clipped out rather than the more commonly seen ding. And it looks like it happened recently given the color of the metal at the clip.

VF sharpness, but a big rim problem and rubbed in the fields, especially on the obverse, to remove dark toning. The rim problem is the bigger problem.

Mid VF details, that's not a rim ding, that's a part of the rim chunked out and missing.

Personally I'd grade it F-15 details.
Edit: Actually scratch that I'll go VF-20 details.

The rim problem is not just a problem, it basically kills this coin.
