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."

first thought was that the area in the obv right field had something on it and someone did something to try and remove it. nothing abrasive so I think it grades straight. its just your eye goes right to that area
obv looks close to 45 reverse will hold it XF40
decent price

Looks like a good coin for a 7070 album.

I would agree, a nice coin for a 7070  I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

XF45. Very attractive coin, sharply struck, with lovely original color.
Of note -- I am (slightly) concerned about the difference in toning in the fields where you noted the marks. This may be evidence of attempting to clean up the field, but if so, it doesn't appear to have caused much harm, and I would expect the coin to grade straight.

Looks like a details coin to me. Possible graffiti removal in the right side obverse field. The area looks like it was worked on.

AU Details
The right field most likely kept the price down on the OP coin.

I don't think it was tooled or smoothed.
