MS61. Very Nice.
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."

I'm at MS61 with the others, but the luster appears compromised, lots of breaks/hairlines and spotting in places, otherwise it would probably pull a 62.

I agree low ms. 61 maybe 62. Strike looks great. Stars and lines appear full. Almost as full detail as a proof I have from this year. Awesome coin!

I think that this coin is MS, and I think that it's better than MS-61. It could go as high as MS-63 or 64. I don't see any wear and only a minor spot or two with few contact marks.

i have it at MS63+. at least half of the luster is gone and the mark through the upper shield area would affect value. it still a nice coin. it may have had a light dip in the past but nothing that would affect it grade or value wise
