I'm sorry Joe but I'm not a fan of this coin. Unless the lighting is bad it looks cleaned with a dark retoning. Plus some tick marks on the obverse. I might grade it XF-45 to AU technical grade depending on a better look at the wear on the high points.

I'd say low AU, reverse may have been cleaned at one point - the contrast between the edges and center seems unnaturally sharp.

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."

It has AU sharpness, but it is dark with a lot of small marks. For pricing purposes, I'd think in terms of Choice VF or very thin EF money. If you are just looking for a type coin, the Legend Obverse Seated dime is one of the more common pieces. You can find a better one for not that much more money. |
