It's improperly cleaned but doesn't look too hairlined up and still has decent eye appeal. It's well struck as Half Dimes go and has excellent remaining detail on the devices. AU details or XF worst case. I can't see it straight grading. |

UNC details improperly 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."

I agree with the AU, details, cleaned, but I still like this little beauty. Nice addition to any collection.

It's definitely a high end example. Many of these are hard to grade due to the variances of strike that is year-specific. I would venture to say this is a cleaned MS coin. I don't think it's AU.

It appears the volume of disturbances on this coin's surfaces were not entirely the result of cleaning. As such I'd call it AU details. These coins did circulate with some regularity in the 19th century.
