numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11168 Posts	Posted 09/29/2025 11:58 pm Another pick-up. 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."

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3202 Posts	Posted 09/30/2025 10:37 am Nice one! On balance, I'm leaning toward VF-35 here. It's a little stronger in places, but VF-35 seems bourse-floor comfortable. The clasp, hair at the forehead, and wear on the feathers holds it back from EF-40. If VF-38 existed, this would be it. The circulation cameo helps the overall appearance, which is a bit dark, although that could be photo effect, too. There aren't many circulation dings in the fields, but the cluster on the cheek is noticeable as is the rim ding on the reverse at 4:00 and dings on the obverse at 11:30 and 2:00, but those are exactly what would be expected for VF. Nice overall strike and even appearance. Really nice coin. Edited by fortcollins 09/30/2025 10:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11168 Posts	Posted 10/04/2025 4:28 pm This also came in. paid $242. Kind of looks just like the seller's photos which is kind of rare.
