$12.50. Cropped and resized seller photos for now. More late night insomniac auction browsing. No idea if reverse is rotated or if seller just positioned the coin differently when photographing it (they shot it through a 2x2 flip.)

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."

Please explain why you think this merits VF-20. I had a hard time getting to F-15.  Edited by Coinfrog

I see how folks have called this coin a 15, because the bottom of the obverse shield isn't fully struck. However, I don't believe in grading based on one element or the weakest element of a coin. Rather I look at the overall wear level of the coin. The strike on shield and head are often weak on this coin. When you look at the overall strike and wear of Liberty seated on the rock, it looks better and sharper than a fine coin. In addition, the reverse is also a strong vf. If not for the shield weakness, I would be around 25. But 20 seems appropriate in this case.

Quite a nice coin in hand. I am very pleased for the money spent. It is darker in hand and the color is much closer to the original seller photos; my photos make it look somewhat lighter because I am taking them in a room with bright LED overhead lighting.

Nice purchase!

I'd say a solid F-15, bordering on VF.
