My first 1916-P. I own a 16-D but nowhere near this nice. Thoughts? Thanks!

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."

A second set of photos of the same coin with detail above and below the obverse motto. These look like die polishing lines to me but let me know if you see something different. Also wonder what the raised protrusions in the back of Liberty's foot and below the R in TRUST are...

I'll guess MS-66. Beautiful coin! The polishing lines and the raised features is maybe from a Die Clash?

definitely polish lines. I think there is only two options for the raised area by the foot. I cant match up the raised areas to anything on the opposite side. could be a die break.

MS66+

its a wowza coin.
