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."

Absolutely terrific images. They capture the look of the coin without the loss of contrast and detail one would expect of a dark, worn coin. Really excellent work, and I was forced to look closely for consideration of strike before I realized it was an honestly-worn coin which was simply imaged this well.  I'm in the Fine Details camp, but if you're going to buy a Details coin, this one at this price was it.  |

Thanks everyone. This one came in and looks like the pictures. I cannot match the seller's photography skills.
