Would appreciate some grading opinions on this. Compared to other 1916s's I've been looking at, I think the details are high VF, possibly XF. It's pretty clearly cleaned to me, but seems worth getting into a holder in any case.  |

XF details. Obverse harshly cleaned. Cleaning doesn't seem as harsh on the reverse, but the obverse is more important.
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."

Too bad about the cleaning - looked to be a very nice Walker before that happened. VF details.

Hard pass. Wouldn't grad it either

Just to be clear, this a coin I own and my dad bought a very long time ago. He would've known better than to clean it. I'm upgrading his set, which means I'm selling the old coins as I find better ones. This is a tough date and I'm thinking of slabbing it before I sell. XF details still brings maybe VF straight grade money.

I too have a 1916 s I suspect as cleaned I would put this one in the AU range for comparison. Your coin has a lot of detail still on it and I would call it XF 40.   |

some of the devices are looking close to an AU coin like the lettering, date, detail on the shoes, stars, wing detail, olive branch. i can see it at AU (details) cleaned but a TPG probably will call it XF (details). in any case its worth slabbing. if you do send it in give us an update |
