So I dont know how or why it got in this packaging...If anyone has seen this before or could give an idea would really like to know. I haven't taken it out so the picture on the back I am sure you can do nothing with. Here it is anyway. Any idea of grade, info, or value :) Thanks!    |

Looks UNC details polished  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 agree it's been polished, as well as cleaned but I think it's also seen circulation. Since it's a common date, I'd say it's worth $22.

I agree with both above! but if you are looking for an accurate grading assessment you need to take the coin out and get a new clear images since it will not hurt the coin's premium if taken out since it is an ordinary coin and it clearly shows the coin has been cleaned.

Yes, that packaging prevents an accurate assessment and seems worthless in any event.  to the CCF! |

Remove that packaging. Stop at any coin shop and they will probably give you a 2x2 for free. It's a $20 coin, at most.

The packaging is nothing "official;" it's just a previous seller's method of packaging his coins, probably for protection during shipping. Chances are it's lending the coin an appearance which would change if imaged out in the open. and there's no reason why not to free it and a good reason to do so - if that plastic is soft, it likely contains PVC plasticizers which are very damaging to silver if allowed to react.

You may as well free it from that vacuum seal bag because you can't re-freeze it. Welcome to CCF!  |

It appears that it has been heavily tooled to increase the apparent relief around the devices and then polished. AU details.
