Thank you for sharing this beautiful example.
I can't even begin to fathom what a "... finally make a deal on" range would have been.
My hats off to you on a superb example.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks to all for your kind responses and to @macmercury for posting the 4 reverses of the 16-D based on the location of the mintmark, which seems to show that the subject coin in this thread is reverse #2. Seems easy to tell from how far up the MM lies relative to the leaf on the left and also the shape of the MM which seems distinct. Let me know if I got that wrong.   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."

Reverse #2 appears to be a match to your coin.
Errers and Varietys.

Thank you for your comments on the grade and your patience. Happy Independence day as we celebrate our Nation's 250th birthday!!! The coin is indeed slabbed and the TPG's opinion was as follows:  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."
