vf35. looks higher but weak or worn shield and incuse "LIBERTY" hold it back. some dark gunk in reverse at high points is unattractive, but is in the less conspicuous reverse.
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'm going with VF-30. These coins are a bit of a specialty for me with many graded in this range. I think this is an attractive example. I like the no stars type overall for its simplicity in design.

Patina on the obverse looks attractive. Liberty visible as well. I'd say VF20

I would be in the 30 camp. Always love this type. When looking at a photo I try to remember that something I see in a photo may be nearly indistinguishable on the coin itself since they are so small.

Agree VF-20, perhaps 25. Nice example.

VF-20. This coins have a history of conservative grading because not a lot of collectors beat down the doors to buy them. Advanced type collectors like them, but I don't think that there is a space in the Dansco type album for them.

I'm surprised no one picked up that the reverse of this coin was cleaned. It's in a basement slab which it will be liberated from. I agree with those in the VF-25 camp but add details.  |
