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."

My guess is that NGC graded it at MS62.

strike is weak in some areas which is typical but the columns look decent which is what I look for. I think they graded it MS63 due to broken luster and strike

The grade totally threw me, too. Seems at least MS63 to me.

Seems a bit harsh. Was between a 62/63 myself. Guess the number of small reverse marks were enough to hold it back. Not much of a price difference until MS64.

NGC is just flat wrong on this one I believe. No way that's a MS61 coin, it's too nice.

Someone will eventually re-submit it, like I should have done. It was part of a big tranche of auction coins that I had to sell, and I confess I didn't look too closely before I listed it. With that MS61 grade, it's languishing so far on ebay at $46. |
