CCF needs to add an icon that expresses: "Wow! This is way over my head!"

I am going to guess:

1855 upright 55 AU50 RB no CAC

1856 slanted 5 MS62 BN CAC sticker

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."

Thank you for playing. Preliminarily it seems like mcshilling is the winner. Please check if I missed someone who was closer.

Congratulations!

Once the winner is determined and finalized, pm me and let me know where to send your prize.

Druu, I didn't get your pm. You can ask me your question here or email me at CoinNerd@outlook.com. Don't know if I can help, but I'll try.

Congratulations, mcshilling! Thanks for the contest, numismatic student! The pm was asking about a large cent listed at a local auction, it looked like a rotated die 1854 N21 (or N27, I forget the number). Sold already, thanks though.
