xf45 very late state failing reverse die
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."

Lovely, crusty old coin with technical merit no worse than AU55 but likely AU50 "officially" due to the complete lack of luster. I would choose this one ten times out of ten over a "true" AU50 with brighter surfaces.  |

Simply from circulation rub, a 55. I'm guessing those photos are terrible examples. Whatever the color in hand I can't imagine it's that uniform and monotone.
A coin I'd certainly love. Great pick.
