Hello, first time poster. Most of what I know about coins was learned on this site in the last year or so. This coin is one of a few passed along to me by a family member. I would like some opinions on the condition and grading of it. Thanks in advance for the info!   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by joereott21

I'm thinking VF to EF range. May be signs of cleaning. The Morgan experts will be along shortly.

au details harshly scrubbed.  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."

I'm seeing VF35/ EF40 and likely cleaned at some point. It's worth more for your family provenance than the numismatic value. I have several coins in my collection that rate the same.  and to CCF! |

 with the VF, details, cleaned. Nice to keep and perhaps pass it on. It doesn't have a lot of numismatic value. |
