AU53
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."

Net VF35, lots of nicks but a solid strike, with a wonderful arcing die crack running through the obverse from just below S1 all the way to the right and out through S13. No call on the originality of the surfaces, as I am not knowledgeable enough in the land of CBQ's to be able to pass judgment.

No way that coin has been cleaned. If so, then I'm just going to quit. I'm at au-50.

AU53 and this beautiful quarter will be graded with a straight grade if sent in to NGC or PCGS.
This coin has a nice strike as well!

AU-53, a real nice example of a Bust Quarter.

Thank you guys for your responses so far. I am the new owner of this coin and it's on its way to me. Just curious,
what kind of price you would put on it?
Thanks again!

I saw the listing and I thought you paid about half of what it is worth. That seller seems unusual because he seems to have a lot of very high end bust quarters, but doesn't have them encapsulated. I would have bought it for what you paid. Nice find.
