Took a chance on this guy tonight. Advertised as AU but that seems a little generous no? Thank you for your time.

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."

It looks like there are some marks around the eagle so it might come in cleaned I'll say VF details cleaned and possibly damaged from the digs into the coin on reverse below talons and above FD but that's the worst case scenario. Might look better in hand.

VF details cleaned. if this is listed as AU they are trying to rip someone off or they have no idea how to grade a coin.

Sharper photos with better lighting needed to tell if this one was cleaned. VF-25, maybe details.

VF Details cleaned. That seller is deceitful, their listings on ebay are always listed as several grades too high and often cleaned

Since you already have it you might want to take pictures with more light on it. It does appear cleaned with VF details.

It's nowhere near AU, that much is certain.

Will do, thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm fine if it's VF but they have a 30 day return policy so if it's VF details then I'll prob return. Did not expect au, but a VF details isn't anywhere near advertised .
