looks polished - why is it so shiny?
obverse shield looks impaired with LIBERTY illegible.
obv shield with this level of detail corresponds to a f12 or f15 grade. rest of coin looks vf/xf.
long scratch to the right of liberty's left leg.
cluster of deep dings and scratches above left wing of eagle.
long scratch below leaf cluster. scratch follows outline of leaf cluster and does not appear accidental.
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."

VF 20, but the plastic makes it harder to grade.

I don't see any evidence of cleaning from those lousy photos. Certainly not cleaning that would trigger a details grade. Take it out of the case and post new pics. Otherwise from what I see that coins is xf-40.

The gouges and scratches (damage) above the eagle's left wing are enough to detail this coin even though it's not severely damaged. It is probably worth $250 to $300 as-is.
