This one was unusually easy to identify as to variety, which is believed to have been struck in 1823 when the Monroe Doctrine was rolled out in our Country. Thoughts? Thanks!    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."

As for the grade, I'm thinking somewhere in the VF range.
Errers and Varietys.

VF25. Is that graffiti above liberty from star 7 to 8. Possibly the same above the eagle. Or do those scratches look sufficiently random?
Overall, I like the appearance much better in your pics than the seller pics.
