Here is one more that is questionable. Any thoughts on this one in terms of authenticity? Unfortunately these are the pics online and won't be able to look closer or get better pics. It looked ok details wise, but still wanted to get opinions since this would be a larger purchase as well. Thanks,   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

unc details cleaned. looks dipped.
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."

Unfortunately no other pics as it is just online for a local auction. It must have been the dipping/cleaning that made the coin look so-so for me. Thanks for the input!

I'm seeing enough rub touches to put it into AU, details, cleaned.
Unless it's cheap - $75-$100 (which it won't be), I'd pass.
You really eliminate a LOT of commemorative collectors when you have a coin that obviously over dipped.

Looks OK in the pictures but for me,
I would need to closely examine it in hand.
I have always done that with any coin that I have eventually decided to buy.

Most likely authentic but altered surfaces (cleaned and/or overlapped).
You are wise to hold off for an example you can examine in hand.
