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."

This coin just doesn't look right to me. I think it's been harshly cleaned. The color contrast between the rims and the devices doesn't make sense. Just avoid it. You can do better.

AU details. The rim bite is going to prevent straight grade.
Late die state (overused as were most 52s), so very evident PIDT. To keep using the die they cranked down the striking force - the let a lot of planchet flaws come through.
Honestly it's really EF45 - there's a touch of wear on the reverse diamond (9 o'clock) and also on the obverse shield points at 8 and 10 (although equal chance that's strike)

It's a nice AU-58 with a shot at MS. The strikes on these was terrible. Most likely dipped at some point.

Thanks for the opinion guys! I was honestly expecting responses to be somewhere in the MS range, but now I am closer to reality.
