Any thoughts on grade and originality? The D shaped mark on the obverse is partially due to the flash on my camera, not damage.

Thanks,
Joe

VF-30. Certainly original surfaces. I generally get goose bumps for circulation cameo, but this color separation is so distinct to be a little off-putting.

This is a Coin where the price really is a deciding factor. That's not what I usually advice. This one is off enough that I'd buy at 80% of like grades of this date.

I grade it VF-35. This looks like a very nice coin. Most of these are heavily bag marked, cleaned or with other probs. This one seems nice for the the type.

Vf-35. It wants to push into xf-40 but is limited by the obverse. Nice original coin!

First thought was VF30. Nice coin that would look great in a 7070.

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."

VF-30. Love the dark surfaces! If I had a 7070 going this would definitely go in there, and I'd take it over anything!
