Curious what you all think of this one? Pictures were taken under incandescent lighting. In hand it is a darker steely grey on both obverse and reverse than what you see here.   |

Not my series but going from Photograde...
F-12 seems about right?
Maybe different/better lighting would help?
Cool coin!

Is this the actual color?  |

I'm guessing the color looks more like this. You can always adjust your color post-processing to make the color more accurate. Or you can use different lighting, or change the white balance on your camera...  |

@Zurie, you pretty much nailed it. I was trying to get a picture that showed the best detail on such a small object, have never thought much about using some of the photo light editing tools to get the color closer to what it actually is. I'll keep that in mind going forwards.

A nice Vf in my opinion. Would love to see pictures under natural lighting. This is my example of the same variety, JR-3, which is a R-2 variety.  |

VF20
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."

VF-35 first impression, could be a net VF-30.

@Germanics, I'll try to get some better pics in the next day or so in natural light. It's been raining and overcast all day today, so lighting today stinks. Your example is quite nice, looks AU to me!
Curious what any of you think about the uneven denticles on the reverse, is this wear or strike/die state related?
Otherwise, thanks everyone for the feedback!

The area behind the neck looks like it was rubbed with an eraser. Other than that then VF+.
