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."

Also thought that the eye detail in the protected area was fantastic along with the LIBERTY lettering in the band. Same goes for the reverse shield.

There does appear to be some luster remaining in the shield, periphery, along protected areas.

if it was cleaned up, it was decades ago and the coin would grade straight. I have it at AU50

When you get her in hand...how about a close up of the date. That 2 looks interesting...just can't get a good feel with pics provided.
I like it either way.

I'd say XF-45. Nice post-processing work to bring out that clash!

Here are closeups of the date and 2 from seller's pics.

At first glance the little protrusion coming off the downward slant below the curl sure looks like a 2/1...idk...maybe?

I was able to attribute this coin as Overton 103. The 1812/1 overdates are Overton 101 and 102. By looking at the TI alignment in the reverse, I was able to rule out the 1812/1 overdate varieties.

I would be at XF-45. I am not convinced that it would straight grade. I have seen many worse than this straight grade and others detail that are better.
