vf35. pretty banged up obverse
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."

I didn't take that into account when I graded it. It was an observation about the coin. Affects the eye appeal when comparing equally graded coins.

Thanks SilverDollar for keeping that line clear.
Thanks NS for your honest opinion explained.
Now for Mike - ARE YOU KIDDING? After all the nice SLD you've shown us, you ask about this one?
Technical grade 40. Eye appeal = yucky.

XF-45. Looks like some old PVC green on the high points. Perhaps it's just the the photo and it's a all nice grey.
