Would it make ms65rd? If it does it's a $2,000 one cent piece. The color of this coin appears unusual for an early San Fran piece which are normally brassy golden in color. It does look like a high-end coin though. I'd guess it's a ~MS64 that has been processed to look Red. Where did you acquire it or where it is available for sale? |

It's listed for sale online which is always a gamble. Here are a couple better pictures.   |

63rd. too many marks on face.
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."

Bad mint mark and highly polished! Hope you were just looking and didn't buy it.

I agree. That IH looks super weird. The colors off, not just because of usual ones from that year and MM, but it looks like it's been treated with something? And the MM is ALL wrong.

Looks polished for sure. 1908 with laid on S I would guess.

A problem coin, most likely altered.

Mintmark does not look good on this one.
I know this seller has multiple names and accounts. His coins are always pictured on that same cloth. He/She usually deals with problem coins and says that "most coins have been cleaned" in the details.
I would stay away.....no way does that coin get a 65RD.
