*** Edited by Staff to Add Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***My son bought this for me a few years back. He tries and its the thought that counts. Grade thoughts? The rims just appear to be worn and toned. Pretty dark 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."

I can't be sure. I see dark toning but it looks like there might be pitting in the neck of liberty. I suppose I lean toward details too.

i think the obv helps to bring in a G6 grade. I think the coin grades straight although quite ugly.

Looks like toning from an old blue Whitman folder. Straight grade. Buddy just inherited a full book of dimes that look like this. |

Thanks for all insight. May drop it off at ANACS as I live close and see if conservation may helps its beauty. LOL

Might be fun to give the dime a long soak in acetone.
