If anyone has a reference book, would you be able to help me attribute this? 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."

Yeah, hoping that someone has the Grellman/Reiver attribution reference book.

It has a strong strike and great luster/eye appeal. I'd send this to PCGS/NGC.

Thanks everyone! I finally got some airtight snaps for my coins and as I was transferring the coin to its new home, I had the opportunity to photograph the coin directly.

Only the coin first pictured in this thread bothers me somewhat. Perhaps picture a little out of focus.
All the rest quite OK.
Also agree with MS64 for the others.
