reverse limits this to vg8.
the second obverse picture has hairlines throughout fields and main device that indicate cleaning.
vg details cleaned.
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 saw that, but it appears to be an artifact of the lighting; they do not show up strongly in any of the other pictures except those which were taken with direct lighting. Under a 10x glass I can see faint hairlines, but nothing inconsistent with the grade which PCGS assigned, and certainly not recently inflicted; perhaps it was lightly wiped at one point in the past, like many Bust Halves. Reverse shows few or no hairlines under 10x glass, which is consistent with an 'album wiped' coin.

My first reaction to it was VF-25 because there was too much cheek and face profile showing but I think the reverse brings it down overall to a VF-20. My 50¢ worth.

One of the hardest series to grade due to the strike issues. People tend to undergrade them. Definitely a series you have to grade by date. I'm at vf-20.

My "eyeball grade" was F15. PCGS said VF20, which I think is a step overgraded. It appears to have been struck in a strange manner, with that one section of weakness being wholly inconsistent with the rest of the coin. I think I'd be most comfortable at F15, despite PCGS. Considering that it cost me $0 to acquire the coin, I'm okay with that. ;)  Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
