yes I did. Pics were not great but I could sort of zoom in with my mac and see some decent detail remaining.

Looks vg with env damage in reverse from what I can see.
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."

Be careful about buying these "pigs in a poke." The close-up pictures are too dark to see anything, and the others are upside down. Why do sellers post upside down pictures? It's been my experience that it's easier to hide something.
In the old days they were hiding condition flaws. Now they could be hiding counterfeit. I'm not saying this is bad for sure, but don't assume that it's good either.

Problem coins are cheap because there are fewer buyers at any price. Corrosion on early copper is common, which is why truly good examples are hard to find.

that is true moxking but most lower priced coins of this type are a lot worse on e-bay. Took a shot. Might make or lose a few bucks.

Good luck, but I could never pull the trigger using those pics.

well the most I can lose is $41 if I get nothing when selling this coin. Not likely.
