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."

Original 45. The cut head is a distraction.

XF45. $15 sounds like quite a good deal.

XF45. $15 sounds like quite a good deal. I think that this is a little better grade than the 1882, but it seems to have a large gash between the torso and lap of liberty. Can't tell if it's a hit or a scratch, but I think that's why it went low. Liked it in spite of the hit and the price was right.

Very Krusty! XF-40 detail but what is going on with the surfaces? Is it just pixelated images or are they rough?

Any chance you can take some sharper pics of the 0930 to 1 o'clock area of the reverse? I am curious if that is a die crack.
I am in at EF details for a grade.
