EF-45 details. The surface color indicates an older cleaning which is now toned. Still a decent type coin.

AU50 sharpness, but low for the grade due to lack of luster.
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."

XF-45 seems about right. Color seems OK, at least not obviously the result of cleaning. The sunken look at the upper reverse rim (from about 11:00 to 2:00) looks weird to me. I have an 1850 and it does not have this feature. Might be some kind of damage.

Agree with IndianGoldEagle. EF, details, cleaned. Those splotchy colors don't form unless the coin has been cleaned. You will never see that color on a cent or Half Cent that hasn't been cleaned.

I passed on this one. It sold for about $185.
Thanks all for your opinions.
