53. This is a good date for type sets, but still pretty common even in MS.

No luster, weakish WE. EF-40. Not sure where everyone is getting AU from. The corrosion on the obverse should make it EF details.

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."

ICG gave this MS 63 BN. This was one where I am unsure if I should return or keep. You guys were pretty hard on this one.

it's a nice looking coin but the lack of luster hurt it.
