numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 10/09/2021 7:00 pm Can you imagine working all day in a building without air conditioning in New Orleans dressed the way these women were? The room had to be closed and secure because the gold and silver shavings were so valuable. I bet there was zero air circulation in that room. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 10/09/2021 7:19 pm Quite the history behind this piece, a few adjustment marks just add to it, not being distracting on your example IMO. I 100% agree with Slider, it holds its own and then some in comparison. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/20/2026 09:21 am Just updating this thread to mark that a comp realized a sale above $1 million in December 2025 for posterity. Discussion of how this coin compares to the million $+ coin here: https://goccf.com/t/482894 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."
