Maybe I need to retake obverse pics. Looking blurry.   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."

MS-63/64 Very sharp hair details and nice Liberty. Scratch on the cheek and the many small ones in the field might be holding it back. Great eye appeal on this one.  |

Yes, please try to verify the sharpness of your pics before posting - you have this problem often.  |

It can be very hard getting good pictures ... I still have trouble..
Lighting is my biggest problem, when taking pictures.

AU58. Slight hairlines and the general appearance of the fields indicate brief circulation. Well struck. Very heavily polished dies, worth a VAM.

Better picture of the obverse and rotated reverse.

AU-55, maybe MS-61 if I'm wrong about there being some light circulation (it does look lightly circulated to me, but the photos are a little tough to grade off of). Luster is mostly there, but subdued.
However, that group of vertical hairlines on the chin have me a little concerned about a there having been a pretty strong wipe at one point that isn't being fully picked up in the photo. I'd guess I'm wrong on that, but it stands out as a concern to me from taking a look at it.
