Xf45? Uneven strike typical of the early halves.

Need to call ServePro on that one Mike, they advertise they'll "Clean it like it never happened"!  Yep, that's a weird one, wear on feathers, cap, hair and guessing stars are more the weak strike?. XF45 (obv) XF40 (rev) .....?  |

I would value it at AU50 I think, although it might be XF45. I think it's a dandy and the eye appeal would get a brownie point from a grader. Anyway, I would value it at AU50
The reverse looks a bit rubbed. Perhaps it was cleaned long ago and spent some considerable time in a folder that gave it that peripheral toning.

vf 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."

Very nice eye appeal. I think that toning is from a long life in a folder. Is that a MAD or an off center strike, and was it common back then? John1  |

EF details, cleaned. Not worth buying, especially at a premium

Agree w/the others on XF / cleaned and retoned. However, as far as retoning goes, this is half decent.
