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."

Harshly cleaned/polished. Not sure if it's an ms coin.

I agree with MS details / polished, I do not see any overt signs of circulation, but it looks like someone got a bit overzealous trying to "enhance" the prooflike qualities of the fields...

I've got to work on my imaging. The polish lines are raised on this coin.....I think I nuked the contrast a bit too much...

MS details. The hairlines from someone wiping it with a coarse cloth kills it.

This is one of those coins that needs to be viewed in hand to really gauge what's going on with the lines in the fields. The halos around the obverse stars and date suggests a dip that was not rinsed properly.

I agree with Dave. I wonder if some of the hairlines are actually on the slab, or if they're die polishing, or actually cleaning?
