Gambling is an addiction I can't always break when it comes to spending a little "mad money" on coins with terrible photos. Win some, lose some, but it's fun regardless.

Price paid: $29

Seller photos. The only thing I've done is to crop them down a bit. Grade away!

I'll say F-15 or so, but blurry reverse pic may be masking some ED.

These are actually pretty good photos. Fine-15, but expect to give it an acetone dip, I see some greenish hue on the lower obverse.

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."

$29 sounds Fine-12 to me! It's a nice looking old dime.

Came in today. Quick acetone bath, nothing else done.

Thoughts? It's a shade or two darker in hand, photos are a bit lighter.
