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."

45, but the black on the skirt would turn me away. There are plenty of coins without distractions. Why buy one with an eye grabbing "problem".

XF-45 and likely a straight grade. The original surfaces are nice but the black crust hurts eye appeal. This is a common coin and defect-free examples are available. I wouldn't buy this one.

Looks like maybe the gunk might just be cleaned out. Have you tried acetone? The overall color is quite original.

The problem is you have to crack it out and then take the risk it won't look worse after removing the gunk.

EF-45 details. The reverse rim is pretty chewed up at the 12 O'clock position.
