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."

You think authentic, though? It weighs 26.49g. Slightly light, but there is also circulation wear. All other tests spot on.

Yes, authentic. That is still within tolerance, especially with wear.

AU-50 details, polished and antiqued. Looks like it came out of a belt buckle.

Looks like it came out of a belt buckle. I had suspected that as well. Even with the cleaning/abuse it has taken, it is still not an unattractive coin. It will now be gracefully wearing down in my pocket. Edited by hcmusicguy

A pocket piece would be a good job for it.
