58
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."

AU55, too many luster breaks for a 58, but the surfaces do not look original to me, especially the reverse. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

...surfaces do not look original When in doubt on any characteristic or authenticity I'd personally do a side-by-side comparison of the coin in question using this page because of the consistency and quality of workmanship for this site: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/4381I realize it's an MS example but it still has that movable magnifier useful to drill down on a particular area of doubt etc. I'm at 55. |

I find the 55 presented by CoinFacts below interesting in terms of its acceptable patina for a 55:  The OP's coin is copied below PCGS' coin. Thoughts? |
