In my opinion, yes.
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."

At least it doesn't look harshly cleaned. Looks like it was dipped.

I'm not sure what is written on the shield. It should say "liberty".

It's hard to see but that's what it says.

Good eyes, Mark1959. It looks like I will be returning this coin since it's unanimous that it was cleaned.

Get them to compensate you for the cleaning, not a bad coin overall but should be sold rightly identified. Sure not gray sheet XF $!

I paid $52 for this coin, assuming it wasn't cleaned.
