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."

XF details rim damage unless it is MAD then XF40 tops; no call on the toning

Beautiful coin where market grading could take it 10 points above the technical grade. Technically a VF35-XF40 I'd bet it's in an NGC XF45 or maybe even AU50 holder. I'd guess XF40 would be the fair grade. Very nice piece. Quote:
...but what happened to the rim? On edge lettered early Bust pieces those type of rim marks are often from "rolling in the lettering" very close to the obverse/reverse surfaces. Edited by BH1964
