AU55 with a well struck reverse for an early branch mint issue. Like the look of this one.
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."

I'm at AU50, 53 on a TPG's Friday. Flatness visible, primarily on the reverse is due to slight strike weakness (usual spots: buffalos head, shoulder, upper rear leg). Weakness also noticeable in the knot, hair above the knot, incomplete 1st feather, and slightly weak 2nd feather. Early Denver minted buffs are typically reasonably well struck, compared to their San Fran counterparts which had more problems. I'd put this at average strike for the date. Above average die state though, not much in the way of Die Deterioration, clashes, or polishing. Overall nice example.
