Picked up three Half Dimes. This one is the second. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!   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 do not recommend buying from such poor photos.
Again, guessing EF-45.

After seeing the newer pictures I've revised my grade down to EF-45. Looks like it may have been cleaned long ago too. I'm also seeing some rim issues at 4:00 and 5:30 on the reverse. Not sure if this would be enough to warrant a details grade though.
My 2 cents

Ugh. I'm questioning the pics this seller is posting. They do not look accurate at all. This looks like VF-35 that has been cleaned and with rim problems. I hope it looks better in hand.

Thanks Meadowview. I believe this coin is a 1833 LM-3.4, R-2. Reverse die is very worn, but not terminal. If terminal, it would be R-7.

EF-45 but looks like there might be some surface issues. Might pull a details grade.
