Bid to $500,000 plus $110,000 auction fee as of this writing. Here's your chance to own this rarity.  https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...pcgs-cac-cmqIN 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."

Very nice!  Although I'm not rich enough to buy it.  Errers and Varietys.

If I liquidated all my assets, I could not even afford the auction fees. Although I do have a 1894-S dime in my 7070 of fakes.   Edited by oih82w8

The bid is now up to $1,000,000. Wonder how high it will go? Their write up on how the rarity was created is really interesting.
