Newb at collecting and grading. Would appreciate your thoughts on grade and value if you think the coin is impaired. I don't recall what I paid for this one. Thanks!   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."

An attractive AU55-AU58, does not seem to be "impaired."

Another consensus slider. I bought most of these at BU.

This one only has a modicum of rub showing the briefest circulation and is a strong AU-58. Almost all of the fields retain more luster than what might be expected of a circulated find. No hints of dipping or cleaning, which is a huge plus. I like it.
