If those are the seller's photos, it's a definite pass.

Ain't no question on that toning, Mox, that's result of the chemicals used to soak and scrub that bugger. Sure wasn't a normal mix, left a very bad residue that has and will continue to destroy metal surface. I have no idea what you might due to save it, the damage has been done is most likely irreversible.

Yeah I have no clue what happened to this thing. Looks like the crusty green stuff that builds up on old car batteries. Even the high point rub areas look funky. Pass.

Reverse of 1839 XF-40. Odd tone.

I wonder if this was in a PVC flip and once removed, an attempt was made to remove the PVC green causing the lighter areas? A lot of times in PVC flips you get the green only on the parts that are touching the coin. But there would be some on the edges too.

yep, this is the small letters reverse of 1839. been looking at a lot of these lately. in the 1840's dates this is the most common after the 1843.
this one looks au50 details cleaned. there are many of these around - I would wait for a better one which wouldnt be hard to find.
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."
