I just purchased this coin because I thought the price was reasonable how did I do? The only "issue" I see is the little rim bump at 12:00 on the reverse. Thank you very much!   |

35. I don't think the rim ding would not details it.
Photos too flat to determine originality of surfaces.

I'm trying to stay clear from problem coins do you think I should return this one? In hand I didn't think it looked cleaned, I guess I have a lot to learn :)

That ding on the rim is NOT grounds for a details grade and I see no evidence of cleaning. vf-30 here.

VF-30. The rim ding is the first thing that my eyes go to on the reverse. Unevenly dipped in the past?

Boy, this is a tough one. If sent to TPG, I suspect it will get details grade. However, it's nice acceptable type coin, IMO. |

I paid $65 for it, I do have the option for a return, and from the looks of it I might have to do that lol

xf details cleaned and rim damage
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-25 I think this coin was cleaned (market acceptable) and has re-toned but would straight grade.

I think it would straight grade around VF25. The reverse shows most of the patina "washed away" but without signs of a harsh cleaning. The rim ding does not appear bad enough to call it damaged.
