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 am at 58 as there is a little circulation rub on the high points.

The rim at K6 immediately drew my attention, and there is something a bit off with the field directly adjacent and to the left of S12-S13 obverse
Are either of those things anything to worry about? Probably not.
AU55. Very well struck coin with toning on the reverse.

At first sight, this coin was shiny and reflective. It is obviously cleaned and on the return pile.
