Found this in one of my coin shop's 25 cent foreign coin bin. They clearly don't look through the stuff they put in there very carefully, so I find great stuff in there, foreign and domestic alike. They also never charge full price, so this nickel cost my a little under 21 cents.

So what do y'all think for the grade? I was thinking obverse fr-02 and reverse pr-01, but I'm not sure. Thanks!

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."

If you carried it as a pocket piece for a while you might be able to get it down to P-01. As long as you do not lose it!

Thanks guys, I think I'll have it as a pocket piece for a while. I'll check back if/when I think I've got it down to pr-01.
And don't worry T-BOP, Just looking on ebay, a lot of the stuff I buy from there is actually worth much more than I paid. The rest is worth it to me.
