VF-20 by a hair, maybe an ancient cleaning, but looks OK to me.

Just 20, although PCGS overgraded a ton of the BHD type up until about 18 months ago.

Probably old cleaning but market acceptable. Very nice piece with very few distractions.

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's a lot lighter in color than I prefer 200 year old, well circulated coins to be but it doesn't appear harshly cleaned. I'd guess VF25.

A little washed out. I agree with BH1964, lighter than I like but probably in a straight grade slab. VF-20.

PCGS graded it VF-25. I agree with most people that it is somewhere between VF-20 and VF-25

too much hair and feather detail for 25. I bet they would grade it 35.
