I posted this coin quite a while ago when it was raw, and as far as I know I never updated any thread with the grade.  |

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."

That cheek is remarkably clean granted a bit of chatter next to it in the fields. I'm at 65+ with a good shot of 66

I think it has a decent shot at 66 as well.

MS 65. Too much chatter for a 66.

I'd bet on 65+ and know I'm within a half grade one side or the other.

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to grading, and I've got it at MS65+. Man, that cheek looks CLEAN, and the entire bust looks immaculate. Lovely specimen. Without that chatter, though. . . . . goodness gracious.  Edited by Darth Morgan
