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."

Looks to have had some corrosion, obverse pits are pretty deep.

The angle of the front curl of Lincoln's hair, the gouges near the mint mark, and the die chip on the left wheat stalk above the "U" of UNITED caught my eye. I hesitate to ask this, but are we sure this coin is genuine?

Just looking at the OP picture it seems to have a metal scrape area and a bit of extra metal build up where it doesn't belong.  |

When I first looked at the coin, the color seemed off. A lot of the Chinese fakes have a dark brown color. Flying Eagle, Indian Head and Wheat Cents have all been copied for key dates. I wish they had to designate them as copies.
