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'd say about $100 if it is not corroded.  to the ccf 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.

It is a common date for the series. Your best bet would be to check ebay sold listings. Your coin appears Fine, details, corrosion, from what is visible. |

Any tips for focusing a camera better I've took at least 50 more pics and I can't see any difference. iPhone 7 camera should be ok?

I rest my phone on a stack of four books on my desk. I place the coin on the desk on a white sheet of paper so that I have a white background. I shine a desk lamp on the coin with an incandescent light bulb. I stack books to get the distance to the coin right. I let the phone autofocus and tap on the phone screen where the coin is to focus on that object. I am careful to not move the phone when I take the photo.
Works for me but others have fancier setups.

Take it out of the flip and that would help immensely.
