I am curious what everyone thinks of the grade of this 3-cent piece. Reverse is pretty scratched up unfortunately.   |

au details scratched.
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."

AU details (PMD/Graffiti) based on what I'm seeing the marks on the reverse look intentional. someone did that on purpose.

Yes, agree it is likely graffiti. Such a small coin though, still looks pretty nice.

A shame about the scratches, because it's otherwise a nice coin. I'm also at AU Details, Scratched. Possibly EF-45. Always tough to grade trimes.
