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."

This is an ICG holdered MS 63 BN. Was it mis graded or just a tough read with only 2 pictures? Is it worth getting attribution to N-14?

the detail is there, again the luster seems missing.

I think the N-14 designation might make it more appealing to the die state collectors. Most would say that unless R-5 or higher added value is not there. You could send the coin to Grellman and have him attribute and grade it. That only sets you back postage cost plus one dollar.

Great details on the coin... a beauty without any luster.
