f-15 here. I'm concerned about 1 o clock on the obverse. Looks like borderline ED. Has the black stuff eaten into the surface of the coin?

Vf25. Type 2 obverse and reverse. Have you weighed the coin and seen whether it sticks to a magnet? Looks genuine but never hurts to make sure and eliminate the obvious bogeys.
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."

MikeF: Interesting question! (I blush to admit I had to look up "ED" in the glossary.). I have tried to get different angles on the black areas:   Also, no iron content! Edited by RubyOpal

On the verge of 20, but still closer to 15.

Can't tell from the pics. You would be a better judge since you have it in hand. Hold it at an angle close to a light source so that the light reflects off of it. If you see depressions where those spots are then it is ED. If the spots are raised, then it's just gunk that built up on the surface.

F-15, probably details (ED, old obverse cleaning).
