I posted this in the T$1 a day thread, and I'm pretty sure it's AT'd (which I don't care about tbh), but I'm interested in what everyone thinks about it's grade.   |

AU details harshly 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."

Steel wool would probably do the trick.
I'm in the same camp as everyone else. AU-Detail.

AU, details, harshly cleaned, artificial toning.
This coin has lost 80% of its value. It's a hole filler, even though the technical grade is AU.

Artificially toned to hide the harsh cleaning.
Would have been better without toning. It's a detraction, IMO.
Perhaps you can get rid of the toning and keep it as AU details, harshly cleaned.

I agree with the AT but think the grade is XF-45.
If it were mine, I'd dip it and make it a pocket piece for a year or so.
