Paid $45 for this. I was thinking this was VF20. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

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."

45$ is on the high end of value but if you like it then good buy. Give it a soak in some acetone,might get rid of some of the dark crud. Nice feather details, reverse a little worn. I love FE cents, I'm up to 40 as of the last 2 purchases!! I put them all in plastic air tight holders so you can still look at them but no damage will happen while you are handling them.

VF-35 details, environmental damage. Reverse is a little weakly struck but the obverse has EF detail.
Rest in Peace

with IndianGoldEagle. Higher technical grade but suffered from a cleaning. Still a nice obverse, in particular.
