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."

Solid Good. Light, even porosity, attractive color. Overall, apart from the mild to moderate porosity, there is nothing else that distracts from this coin, nor any problems not consistent with its wear grade. I like this coin.

 . While the grade is not lofty the eye appeal is right up there. One of those coins you like immediately. Nice one. Good buy. |

This one was graded by ANACS at VG8. I think that the obverse is less than that and the reverse mat be better than that. Can't be sure from the photos provided but will update with new pics when in hand. Thanks!

This came in the mail while I was away. LIBERTY on obverse is more prominent as in originally posted photos but I can't capture it in my photos through the plastic.
