pr63 cameo mostly due to disturbance between eye and ear.
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."

I can never lose my sense of wonder at Proofs from this decade. The Mint was hitting on all cylinders during the period, and some of the finest Classic Proofs ever struck were the result.  I have no doubt this one is DCAM. You would be unable, in hand, to see the loss of cameo contrast near the ear. It takes a digital sensor to "see" it. Not a fan of Barber coinage generally, but the same things I dislike about the design make them wonderful Proofs. |
