au53 with an older cleaning which is retoning. I think it is 50/50 that it details for cleaning but we see obviously cleaned coins in straight graded slabs all the time and nice coins in details slabs a little less often. little bit of a crapshoot with this coin.
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."

XF Details cleaned. Looks like a Overton 105.
I am putting the SEG at AU53.

this one is not easy to assess due to strike issues. all the lettering on the rev is sharp as well as the 2 leaves under the wing. almost everything we are seeing here is strike related the obv is even weaker. the only sharp detail is the date and the stars on the left side. maybe an old cleaning but I think it has a chance to grade straight. I'm not sure a TPG can get this coin to Mid-AU. i'll net grade it to XF45 |

EF-40 and probably straight grade. Too much wear above liberty's eye, cap, chest.

I am really unsure of what is strike and what is wear without examining in hand. Both sides are lacking details to the same degree, so there is most certainly a good amount of wear. Poor strikes can leave one side sharp and the other side incomplete. There is a minute amount of luster around the devices. I give this coin an XF-45. I don't see a chance at AU and the poor strike really hurts this coin. I see an old cleaning.
