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."

I like that one. Minor distractions but the price was very reasonable. I think it sneaks up on a Fine 12.

Thanks for your comments. Would someone help me with the attribution? I have narrowed it down to O-108, O-109 and O-110 because the F in the reverse is missing the right serif on the base, but I cannot seem to nail it down among the remaining varieties. The obverse does not have many visible die cracks. The die crack from reverse edge above E in UNITED across left wing tip and top of STATES attributable to the O-109a variety is there, but the corresponding obverse die cracks aren't visible. Thanks in advance.

That's the site I was using to attribute it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I would consider that a strong buy for what you paid, looks like VG+/F sharpness. Well done!
