I grade this F12. It's close to F-15 in my opinion though because of the clear jawline (no wear through to the neck).

With that obverse I would say 8.

Obv vg8
Rev f15
Net vg10
The problem with this coin is that the obverse clasp is nonexistent. Reverse eagle is much better but cannot overcome weak obverse imho.
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."

Obverse limited to VG8. The reverse is better though and close to Fine.

I've seen more liberal grades assigned to similar coins. I believe this coin was graded fairly.  |
