Nice refresh. Agree at XF40. The hair seems to show some worn off detail. Surfaces are beautiful and is PQ for the grade.  Nice to see you here again bandsdean! 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 won't straight grade. It's too easy to see the high point lightening from the cleaning.
EF, details, cleaned.

Attractive VF35-XF40, fairly well struck, but the marks to the left of the eyes/nose are a distraction. I predict TPG XF details / environmental damage. Blue Ribbon is excellent, although nearly unavailable without paying through the nose; Verdi-Care is a decent second line approach to conservation but it works about 3/4 as well as Blue Ribbon on the heavy coppers. The after pictures show a marked improvement in eye appeal and surface preservation.

The "after" version of the coin kinda looks like Al Pacino.

EF-40. If the last pic is accurate, then I'd give it less than a 50/50 chance of getting a straight grade.
