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."

Pictures somewhat dark, but looks high VF if the WE is showing or maybe a light strike, could go to EF, any way, nice.  |

VF35 might make 40 but the color does not seem right. it may be from improper storage of the coin rather than a cleaning, however that would still qualify as environmental damage and result in a details designation

 VF30+ maybe even a EF40 but that color, either hiding some wear or cleaning maybe? Not original color. The strike is fairly weak to begin with the leaves on the left side of the obverse show that, the "WE" maybe due to the strike or wear IMO. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

In the coins defense, I tried to sharpen the contrast to bring out the we, when I did that that color changed, darker in the darker areas lighter in the light areas, the base color is closer to chocolate. I mainly wanted an idea of the details.

I'm leaning towards XF-40.

VF-25. E in WE is gone, W weak, leaves flat. This is wear and not strike.
