Good morning, I have just bought this lovely coin. Here are seller's pictures. It is slabbed XF - cleaned by NGC. Do you agree on grading? Thank you for your opinions.  |

Really a nice coin. I agree with the grade at XF45. Not the original color (hence cleaned designator) but it's still a lovely example and to me the eye appeal is just fine!

I think NGC called it correctly, and agree it's a most attractive example nonetheless.

It is solid for the grade, might even be close to AU. But definitely 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."

I'm thinking that it could go AU details, cleaned.
Errers and Varietys.

Thank you everybody.
The coin is cleaned, I agree.
My guess is NGC was very strict with that XF..
I have a small question, though: on cleaned coins does NGC apply Sheldon scale without numbers? I mean, can a "VF 35 - cleaned" exist or NGC would call that coin only VF - cleand?
Thank you

I would think the damage across the bridge of the nose and under the eye held it to XF. Lovely coin nonetheless.
