Do you think this could grade or seems it has been cleaned and could you confirm it isn't fake? Thanks   |

Looks about AU 55 but it unfortunately looks like it was overdipped. A coin of this detail and high grade should have some luster and this one appears to have none. Also, clearly circulated coins tend not to be blast white. Still, I think it still has a 10-20% chance of straight grading as market acceptable. It is a great looking coin but for what appear to be chemically stripped surfaces.
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."

Looks authentic but harshly cleaned. I don't think this one will grade straight. The hairlines are too obvious. It's a shame. Would have been a 53 or 55 coin.

Agree AU details, probably over-dipped.

Ugh. This is a rare date. It appears real based on the pics but you really need to be careful and have it certified by a TPG company to make sure. I wouldn't want it in my collection. |

Looks real but cleaned, with negative eye appeal. Still should be certified to confirm authenticity. Value will be much lower than for an original example but will still be worth quite a bit to the right buyer. If you choose not to keep it, sell it for what it will bring and use the proceeds to help pay for an example you like.
