Thanks @jbuck!  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."

What a great looking set! I finished mine a while back (no 36RE or 38 O!) mostly VF to EF with a few AU sprinkled in. The series is fun to collect with only a few real stoppers, and spans a very important part of our history.

1819 50c Overton 107a, R7. This one is lower grade than the current one in the set in the first post but it is more scarce with a dramatic die crack. Should I replace the 1819 coin in the date run?

They are both nice, but I'd go with the R7.
