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."

That was a great selection. AU-53.
Note the wing tip on the left side on the reverse is the most telling grade feature for the quarter and the half.
I really like this one.

Don't look at a lot of these in higher grades but based on wear on the obverse I would say x-45-au-50. NO comment on cleaning.

A bit too much wear on the hair and face to make AU. XF-45 but price is right!

i have it at AU53 also and I think it may have been cleaned. the overall look of the coin is flat especially the field on the obverse. I think it was dipped a while ago. it may grade straight though
