Seller images, purchased today. Curious if acetone will lighten or get rid of any of those greenish/blue spots (probably not).  |

I'll say F-12. Acetone can't hurt but probably won't help.

@paralyse curious why you think there is an old cleaning?

F12 (details) - looks like an old cleaning
gung around devices and recesses. spotting on the fields on both sides that look like they were worse at some point and an attempt to remove it left these remaining spots. sometimes these pass. I don't think acetone will do anything but would not hurt to try it

Looks like someone may have had a go in the upper right obverse field.

Appreciate the input, always learning. Besides the spotting, I thought the services looked original when I was first looking at it. I see what you all are saying though. Will see how it looks in hand when it comes in.

F15
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."

the info I gave on what I see that led me to a details grade are good things to add to your knowledge base as to what to look for. the coin could possible grade straight. you never know how a TPG will look at it. many cleaned coins due to how long ago it was done along with how it was cleaned and the overall eye appeal of the coin will come into play. this is one not worth sending in however it is a good example of a coin that could go either way as you can see from the comments some responses here are calling a straight grade. if you get all grade straight or all details you can pretty much be sure thats how it would grade hope this helps |

Got this one in and a long soak in acetone did some good! The spots on it were also not that weird greenish color as in the sellers images. I think they had an odd lighting setup.  |
