Same drill as always. Thoughts on grade, eye appeal and surface originality are welcomed.   |

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."

TPG XF40 details. EAC VF25. Obverse is attractive, with very light but even granularity, but reverse is hampered by patches of moderate to heavy porosity and two gouges - one deep, the other not as much - across the upper right wreath.

Darn it! I didn't even have a chance to bid on it. A friend called and I lost track of time. It's a cleaning details coin but a great example. So mad.

XF-40, very attractive. I wouldn't have guessed details for either cleaning or the reverse cut on the wreath.
