Technical VF-20 but with the marks I'm thinking F15 with the marks

It has no eye appeal - I'd say more like F-12 details, Environmental Damage. Maybe an acetone soak with a Verdi-Care application will give it a little more "life"

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."

Thanks all! Quote:

You're right, it's a risk and I got some coins that some of the people here wouldn't want in their collections but the fact is I'm happy with them... will I upgrade them? probably at some point but this coin's a hole filler for the time being and I KNOW, after an acetone bath and verdi-care, it will look MUCH better ... thanks again everyone. |

Got it in today and the photos were VERY out of focus making it look much worse than it is. It's still a details coin but with more detail...   |

VF-25 Details. Liberty is actually pretty strong with some wear in the middle and base of headband is defined. Even some diamonds present! Definitely environmental damage of some kind.
