I'm in the VG-F range. Not seeing the word "WE" and the rest of the motto appears to be quite weak.

We wears off quickly look at other VF/xf examples as they are all the same.

My guess was based on my interpretation of Photograde images and very little actual experience with this series. Looks like I was a bit too conservative.

Sorry but I'm at F-12 on this coin. There's a lot of where on the leaves.

I don't look at a lot of these but I would say vf-20. I have one in a similar grade. I had to cheat and pull it out. Looks like a nice crusty original.

I agree with those who put it in the range of a Fine grade. The lines in the UL corner of the shield are almost worn flat. The detail in the fletching of the arrows, especially the left one are almost completely worn away. Now way it could be VF let alone XF.

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."

It needs some Verdi-Care love, but it's a really nice F15 with attractive original surfaces, no major defects, and for $30, a very astute pickup which will easily return its price and then some if you flip it at some point or want to further upgrade.

VG-10 sounds about right. There is a lot of wear on that coin.
