VF details polished.
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."

Because the fields are so "chattered" I'm going to hold it to F(15) details - cleaned.

Thanks, guys. I figured this coin might not straight grade, even at VG/F. It worked hard back in the day. I did take two images in indirect sunlight that at least got the color right. Sometimes I think putting little coins under harsh light and huge magnification really makes the surface dings look much worse, but it's the only way to see the variety details.   |
