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."

25, but the surface, especially on the reverse, is a little suspect for cleaning.

Looks like a possible re-color. In hand would be easier to tell. VF.

Maybe an old partial reverse cleaning, but it looks acceptable I think.

VF20, reverse cleaned, but market acceptable.

Do the pics reflect the true color of this piece? It seems grey and very matte in appearance. Otherwise it looks like a good coin. The technical grade on wear alone would be VF30. I agree with VF25 on a market grade.

Agree with 25. Looks like it's been cleaned based on pics.

Looks like 25 and probably cleaned from the pics. There's also something going on above liberty's head.
