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."

My thoughts... why? Do you see something special about it? You're paying close to AU50 price for a VF/low EF coin, possibly Details. Knowing how deep your pockets are, there are multiple slabbed MS examples available for under $300.

Exquisite resolution on this pic, but is the color accurate? If so, it isn't quite right.
I can't see it grading higher than XF, either. Not the best deal, and not the most interesting coin you've shown us. I've made worse purchases though, so don't feel bad.

XF Details. The light splotchy patches look to be where heavier toning once was, before it was dipped. Retoning, but still evidence of the once problematic toning that was there.

AU50.
I have to agree that the coin was cleaned and not rinsed properly or something else was spilled on the coin. the chances that anything can clean this up is pretty slim. the eye appeal imo will knock this at least a full grade. net XF details

 with EF Details, Cleaned and Dipped. Unfortunately, this is a very unattractive and problematic example of a very common date. |

I guess EF-40 sharpness, barely, but agree this is a details coin. Don't care for the look at all.
