I'm (accidentally) putting together a year set of TD's, and this is the latest to the grouping. What would you grade it? Thanks!   |

This is the most common date, so there isn't any reason to go "down" to this quality of coin. Especially on the Trades, which make such a beautiful date set.
If I was forced at gun point, I'd probably give this a 40, although "technically" it's probably closer to a 45.
The rim dings on this coin would definitely DETAILS it as far as submission was concerned. And it has evil cleaning - meaning mechanical rather than dipping.
There are so many things wrong with this coin that most collectors are going to turn there noses up at it unless it's dirt cheap.
For me, the dirt cheap line would be about $125.

My opinion is this is a VF coin. I think it gets to VF-35 by a whisker. It has been cleaned but maybe not as evil as mentioned.

VF Details Cleaned with rim damage.
The good news is the coin does look genuine.

VF-35 details (edge damage). Market acceptable from a surface standpoint, I think.

I don't think the rim dings are enough to trigger a details designation. xf-40.

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."
