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."

Definitely a woodie, note how the different areas transverse through the letters IN GOD and into the hair  Just think how many more must have come from this planchet stock plate! I like white chawklit! Edited by Crazyb0

Could be both - a cleaned woodie - not sure if area by right wheat on reverse indicates cleaning that would impact grading...

The toning looks good to me, but its a details piece anyways.
There's a scratch on the reverse under the right wheat ear, plus the nasty obverse scratch through the date. Not to mention the nasty rim bumbs.
Too many problems to get a non details grade imo.

 to the CCF! Very nice find!! There is a spot above the head where it looks like the light part is kind of raised. Just above head in between God and We. Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me? Or could this be a small lamination error? |

Agree that scratch through the date just kills this coin, even if you like the wood grain look, which not everybody does.
