This came in surprisingly just as it had been pictured by the seller. Further thoughts? Thanks!

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."

It appears to have generous cartwheel luster in the video - difficult to reconcile with the apparent wear.

Let's go with strike weakness and AU grade.

Either way - a fabulous example of USA coinage history.

Possibly a top EF like a 45 but maybe dipped giving a bit of an unusual color. Nice piece tho.

Definitely some strike weakness. I was going to say VF-35, but I'll push it up to XF-40 because of that dramatic music on the video.

good one Zurie

new photos I'm bumping my grade from VF30 to XF40

if the coin does grade that high and grades straight you got a great deal. at VF30 you still got a good deal on this one.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
