I have a really nice 1865 in a PCGS holder, but the one in my Dansco was a scratched, corroded mess, so I picked this one up as an improvement. Thoughts on a grade? VG-F range? Seller photos.

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."

Solid enough lines to reach 25, I believe.
As a bit of promotion I can tell you that this same coin, in a bit better grade, is one of the free hidden coins in my contest going on now.

Wouldn't doubt it. Most of the 1865s I see are clashed, ranging from mild to wild. My PCGS example is on the wild side, fully clashed on both sides with 180 degree die rotation to boot.
