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."

AU details, cleaned/polished. This was a nice coin before someone took sandpaper to it.

AU-55 details, cleaned. Not whizzed, whizzing was a process in the 1970's using a high speed wire brush that took a surface layer off thew coin giving it the cartwheel luster. It also left little pit marks near the devices where the brush stopped. I don't see any of those signs on this coin.

AU-55 details. There seems to be a light wiping, but I don't see any harsh cleaning.

As others have mentioned it looks like a nice AU that has been cleaned.
Too bad.

Having some trouble rotating the images correctly. Tried:
1. Rotating in Windows File Manager
2. Rotating Using Image Optimizer
3. Rotating in Microsoft Photo Editor
Some of these methods work some of the time. None of the methods worked to rotate the images on this thread. They always revert to the alignment in top post even if they look ok in my other windows.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I use Irfanview to rotate my cellphone pictures if coin is in "wrong angle". For me that works well (cellphone pictures). |

Really a shame that such a lovely coin was cleaned so severely.
I'm in the AU details camp on this one. I'd be putting this between two sheets of pulp paper on the window sill for a while and give it some tone to help it's appearance. It wouldn't hurt this poor girl.
