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."

That is some crazy nice toning. Hit to the nose is the only problem I see. MS-60

Crazy toning for sure. I think there maybe a little wear, but really not sure. Looking forward to what the expert say. AU-58

It's chunked out. I don't understand why the toning on the obverse didn't take on the bag marks. It makes it look like the bag marks happened after the toning set in. Perhaps it sat sedentary for many years and some moron from the GSA mishandled the bag. I would say ms-60-61.

This is a Coin that inspires both love and disappointment. Like many of my first dates!
Love the toning. Hate the extent of the bag marks, particularly those that scraped toning off of the obverse.
Grade wise, I can't push myself above a 61.
I can see why you bought it, but the toning still doesn't compensate for the owies.

I think the great tone might push it up to MS-61.

I don't like it too much, since the scraped off toning exaggerates the bag marks. I will say MS 60.

I'm having a hard time deciding if it's a slider or low MS. Wonderful toning regardless.

This is my first Gen 4 holder, the only one that had the barcode on the back of the label. Thanks for your thoughts!
