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."

It was a good buy at that price. I'm hopping the fence between 15 and 20. Nothing seriously outstanding as far as distractions. Probably rubbed cleaned a very long time ago, but market acceptable. Nice pick up.

Yes, I think it's definitely VF-20 at least. The obverse stars are so strong as is the eagle on the reverse that it might grade a little better even.

I use photograde all the time.  What are your thoughts on the grade?
