VG10. If it was cleaned it was so long ago that it's definitely market acceptable.

Could be F12. Nice scarce date. Looks great and unlikely to details for cleaning.
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."

VG-10 minimum
Old cleaning market acceptable

VG10 for sure - nice semi key date. The dark shadow halo around the obverse bust is a clear indicator of an old cleaning - look in particular at the nose, mouth and chin. The subsequent retoning might be considered market acceptable today but there is a risk a TPG could details it. |

i think its a nice circulated example and would come in at VG10 looks almost identical to one recently sold on ebay graded by PCGS for $225 |

Thanks all. The seller is calling it F-12 and asking F-12 pricing. I didn't think there was quite enough in the "BER" of LIBERTY to make fine, but wanted other opinions. Will be passing on this one.

i think it would come in just short of F so a pass at F is a good move even though its a nice clean coin.

@ericgreen - good call, I as well would pass on paying F12 money for this example. Concur there is just not enough LIBERTY showing for me to get there.

I'd agree with VG-10. I wouldn't say all the letters in LIBERTY are clear. Naturally the seller is trying to bump it up a grade...
