Easier to look at if coin devices and mottos are straight up and down not tilt shifted. High points of coin look good, toning is good but fields around letters indicate it may have been cleaned in the past, not a deal killer though. I'd say a high AU-50 but need a better view of the reverse motto to possibly go up to AU-53

Darker tone but I can see this one at AU-53. Not much wear on this one at all.

I will also say AU53 and probably market acceptable if it has an old cleaning.

Thanks everyone and yes I was thinking this was an AU coin but the price was very right ($26.00) and I don't have one of this date in my collection so I couldn't pass it up.

50 and looks 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."

AU 53, maybe cleaned. Yes, $26 is a good price for this coin, cleaned or not.

I got the coin in today after it got lost in the mail for a few days. It looks much better in hand. Am I correct in identifying this as a VAM 6 DDO?  Please excuse the quality of these photos. My phone is not perfect on macros:    |
