Nice. A little blurry but looks like a great 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."

Hard to tell much with that photo. It certainly could be a winner.

This is indeed an 1878 PF63, population of 2,350. Red Book lists this at $1,600. This coin is in an online auction ending in 9 days and was earlier this evening only $80. Here's a little better pix w/ incandescent light removed, still blurry, seller pix.  |

A lot can happen in nine days.  NumisMedia has it at $1,260. Looks really nice, but a wee bit out of my league.  |
