I just bought a couple of these key date coins. Looks about f12 details environmental damage. looks like a planchet flaw near the date.
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."

Technically probably a F-15 but that doesn't really matter with the environmental damage.

I recently paid $41 for mine, but I would say it is worth about $75. Just my guess.

Heavy corrosion greatly reduces the value. My max would be $30 if I needed one.
Fine, details, environmental damage, corrosion.

i think $30 would be light given that this a key date. it is still quite attractive. heritage records have it $60-$105 in the last couple of years.

I apologize in advance to the OP but to be honest with this amount of corrosion I think $30 is generous.

I don't understand what the basis for these values is. This coin wholesales for $250 in f12. Generally a coin is not discounted 85% because of a details designation unless it is a near cull, which this clearly isn't. It is a very attractive, scarce details coin. Auction records give a clear range.

It is decent looking for sure with nice color and a balanced appearance. But all bets are off when it comes to figuring what someone will pay for a compromised coin that may be difficult to resell. Personally, I would think it a very fair value it at around $75.

I could tolerate the porosity but the gouge on the obverse below the bust kills it for me. My personal valuation would be $5 to $10, but market valuation is probably in the $40 to $50 range or a bit higher. Paying much more than that is not something I would advise, you can get problem free AG-Good examples for less than $100. Gradewise, F details, porous, damaged.

I am in the lower price re condition camp. F12 by me but too many issues for my liking.
