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."

vf-35 would be my guess from the blurry pics. Toning isn't dark enough for the grade. Probably cleaned with damage on the obverse shield. Post pics when you get it.

Appears to show mechanical (hand) cleaning. If that's the reason the photos are terrible I hope you have return privileges.

Mid Vf and cleaned IMO I like it just because of the amount of detail left.

If those are the seller's pics, it's a definite pass even at $28.

XF-45. Perhaps details. We'll see when you get her in hand.
