Major issue is the PVC residue present.   |

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."

Stars look closer to 45;
the lines on the shield look closer to 55.

AU-55 details, I think the large spot has eaten into the surface.

I see die clash evidence on the reverse.
All around the "5" and the stars below "UNI".
They don't really affect the grade but do make the coin interesting.

It's harder to find this date without Die Deterioration than with it. AU, details, environmental damage. Hopefully pure acetone can remove the green. |

Right, AU details. Doubt those spots will clean up.

Give it an acetone soak anyway, shouldn't do any harm, see what happens.

I'm in agreement with mid AU. Verdicare or acetone may remove the spot. Hopefully it'll help
