Looks original, I like the patina. I'm thinking XF Thoughts?   |

Strong EF, probably 45. No hint of cleaning or dipping. No distractions. A really nice example. I like it.

EF-45, some striking weakness, still very nice.

Thanks ! What would you be willing to pay for this type of coin given its condition?

Look up auction archives for this type on PCGS. Then subtract 15% from the average sale price because it's not graded. That's about as reliable of an estimate that you will get.

looks 45 but there is wear or strike weakness in the center on both sides. would look for a better struck example. shields are weak, but head is well truck.
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 recently got this coin graded by NGC and it got xf cleaned. I think it is a harsh grade considering the patina

I'd grade it EF-45. Surprised it got a details grade, I don't even see a sign of cleaning from the pics.

I like the coin, seems to me, they maybe should have considered it market acceptable

That's the crapshoot that is TPG. Was it lightly cleaned at one time? It probably was but jeez louise there's 10x worse in problem-free holders. |

I honestly see no signs of cleaning, which is why I gave it a go at NGC. I'm fine with the whole market acceptable cleaning thing as long as there is consistency. I've seen a lot worse in straight slabs... will post another clear pic when it is in hand again
