au55ish. The red seems to be an area of uneven toning, much like the darker toning in the hair below the hairband. This can be the result of exposure to different environments. There also appears to be a Cud below the E in CENTS in the reverse. These appear to detract from eye appeal slightly, but the coin is a very detailed, high grade example.  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 have to say XF45 ish. I'm not sure that the mark on the reverse is a Cud ... maybe a chip ? Am still learning. |

I'm closer to EF-45 as well. Not particularly fond of this.

45 too. $39 is a good price for what this is. It's been cleaned badly and Retoned badly.

I think it's a decent coin. I grade it XF-45. I don't think I can say it's cleaned or suffers from ED without seeing it in hand. I'm also not sold that's a Cud on the reverse. Rather it could just be some built up up dirt. In fact the reverse looks original to me...saying it's cleaned and retoned badly based on these pics is a stretch imo. For $39 it's a great price. |

I like it at 39.00 Verdicare would definitely help in my opinion. I'd be happy to have it for 39.00. XF-45 perhaps AU.
