58. nice strike.
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."

I can't tell how much original luster is present from the pictures.
Assuming not a details coin, I will also say MS64 too.

denticles look very poorly struck for a proof...

I cannot tell if it is a proof or not, so I shall guess MS-65.

Still think its a proof, fields are too buffed, at a PF-65 if not a 66 at a guess, BUT, did notice some very slight differences on DDO, and leg of 7 looks squared off, might be pix...? The big if/and/but is, what @ the reverse, is it @180° or just 35°. Can ya give me a hint RK? Edited by Crazyb0

Typecoin, close, but not a direct match, date is different in size and placement, may be other die marriage mentioned. Thanks for the site!  |
