VF details - rim damage.
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 rim bump at 9 o clock on the reverse is just enough to warrent a details grade. Still, a really nice coin! |

I think that the little lumps on the obverse are die breaks or "cuds," but the one on the reverse is post mint damage.

with a VF details due to the rim bump. Rotation in 1864 is not at all uncommon, though people selling them on ebay sure seem to think they are worth a fortune! LOL.
