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."

XF40 was my first thought although the obverse does not make that grade most likely due to strike.

No way this is an XF coin. Eyebrows are worn flat. Can't pass that off to a weak strike. There is no discernible luster tucked into the protected areas like the stars and legend. The dark coloring on the lower left reverse is troubling, too.

VF-35. Perhaps cleaned and re-toning.

The dark toning on the lower left of the reverse is a shadow from the camera.
