Xf40. I like that both the inner and outer clasp are well defined.
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."

EF obverse, but can't give reverse more than VF-30, so maybe VF-35 net.

It's almost kissing 40, but not quite there with 35. Solid looking, nonetheless.

A well struck VF35. It appears to be lightly cleaned. It's not a bad example by any means; the upper/left half of the reverse just looks too light/white. A keeper at the right price.

Not sure the variety but I do like the re-punched 8 and obverse radial die cracks. That one die crack could be a lamination. |

I am a little early for the customary 48 hours, but Phil's imagery shows this coin in a much better light;   Thank you all for your comments!  |

I protest with the new pics!! They should have been shown from the get-go and shouldn't count against chesterb' stellar grading record!  It does however show the flaw in trying to grade based on images. You really need to see a coin in hand to accurately grade it. BTW...who's this Phil character? I need him to take pics of my coins  Edited by chesterb
