It's been cleaned and not well, but for $40 you bought it at the right price!

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."

Not a bad purchase for the price - although the later die state "Knob Ears" are the ones to aguirre.

It's been cleaned. I wouldn't have bought it, but that's just me.

I'd say VF-30, not bad looking even if previously cleaned.

VF-30 and might straight grade. Not sure if photo lighting is making it look cleaned.

Agree it's hard to tell if the color is related to the lighting. It would help if you could re-image the coin once you receive it.

I think the lighting doesn't do the coin any favors. Will see what I can do about new pics.
