This one has gone back and forth from my sell pile to my keep pile I don't know how many times. I just can't seem to part with her.   |

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."

The size of the worn down flat areas are consistent with
VF25.

I love the hair curl details. I'm on the fence between VF-30 and VF-35. Because of the flatness in the face I will go with the more conservative grade but it's a high end 30. This seems like a nice original coin and I can see why you'd want to keep it.
Do you know the Overton attribution? You may want to check that out.

Overton is 112a I believe....that's at least what is on the slab.

I always seem to under grade these coins. My thoughts are high VF, but wouldn't surprise me to see it in a EF slab.

Think this one is pretty fairly graded.  |
