Rest in Peace

I've been looking for a 66 for a long time - this one is an easy 66.
Other than the minor die cracks near the base of the obverse, and a few well hidden hits on the eagles wings on the reverse, I can see it climb well above that 66.
The super brights for Peace are very strongly collected since toning on Peace are rarely attractive.

There is a PCGS MS68 example of this issue, which is the only reason I can't call it Top Pop. These images aren't large enough to be absolutely sure - that line between the N and 1 in the date concerns me - but otherwise I can't see any good reason not to consider this an easy MS67. It's good enough for the slight areas of strike weakness to be required consideration for grade. I would push people out of my way to throw money at this one.  |

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."

This one was graded 66 and I'm kicking myself in the behind b/c I didn't bid more aggressively. I believe it hammered at over $500.
