AU58 details cleaned. Maybe even harshly cleaned.
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."

This is one of those coins that you"ll regret buying the moment you hand over the cash and take it home.
Horrifically cleaned; the hairlines are a dead giveaway. The damage on the reverse between 10 and 12 hurts it, too!
I would grade it "XF Details - Cleaned & Damaged"
Unless it is sub-dirt cheap I'd stay away from it. There are much better ones out in Coinland you'd be a lot happier with.

AU Details 55 harshly cleaned and damaged- pass unless you are getting it substantially below market value.

A nice $400-500 AU cleaned coin for a belt buckle, which is where 1875-cc's like this are trading these days. I prefer mine with lots of chops over the buffing wheel treatment. Larry Briggs graded my 1875-cc as an AU, though the cc is almost obliterated. The surfaces and lettering are natural AU, where you can see them.

This is a badly cleaned and damaged coin - hard pass for me regardless of the price.
