I found this one in loose stack of halfs at a pawnshop, and put it in a 2X2 when I got home. I haven't found one in this good of shape in the wild before. With my very limited experience, I'm thinking this is probably AU.   |

xf details scratched
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."

It is AU-50. Never clean this coin. The darker background with the lighter high point design elements is known as circulation cameo and ads interest, if not value, for any coin.

AU-50, and possibly Details because of the scratches.

AU-50, but that right obverse field is troubling.
