Pics are too soft and dark to evaluate. Please remove the coin from the holder and try again .

xf40. looks like it was well struck with relatively early state dies. very nice!

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."

VF-35, good eye appeal for a circulated piece.

Surfaces look much better than what you find in a typical xf40 coin.
