Absolutely cleaned. Likely details for damage below eagles head on the reverse.

EF, details, cleaned, damaged.

Looks market acceptable to me so straight grade on the surfaces. The issue is that this coin has 3 scratches on the reverse that I can see. One is by the F in OF, one cutting across the neck of the eagle and another over the left talon of the eagle. The coin looks XF but unfortunately I think the scratches would details it.

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."

Absolutely not market acceptable.


Run from this deal. Do not buy it. Spend the extra money and get yourself an original example.

XF details - harshly cleaned, damaged

looking at larger pics - not on my phone, surfaces look less appealing and less original.
