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."

Some small flat areas of wear, but excellent striking detail deep into the depths of the design, especially on the reverse. Most probably has been lightly cleaned by some well meaning but unknowing individual at some time in it's distant past, but that is almost always the case with coins of this age and era. Has re toned evenly since then. Lovely coin, I wouldn't mind it in MY collection.  with AU53. |

The eagle's shield, tail feathers, talons and arrow feathers are stunning on this coin. Those parts of the coin look like they belong in a true gem BU coin.
