I'm guessing she's in the 45-50 range.

40. Toning is a little too dark and detracts from ability to see the coin's features 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."

XF45 for me. Is that possible PVC residue? Looks greenish...  |

Solid EF-45+, maybe even AU-50. Very nice.

If you're shooting for the original crusty look, you've found yourself a winner. xf-45 and would probably green bean.

I went ahead and purchased this coin. I plan on cracking and soaking in acetone just in case there is some sort or residue on the coin. Then it's going in the type set. The eye appeal is there for me, looks completely original....and got it at a discount.  |
