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."

Detail of the mintmark. Let me know if you see any problems. Thanks!

Agree. Partial date, don't like the obverse cut.

the gash on the obverse is a problem. the overall look appears to have been cleaned. eye appeal is on the low end. VG details

 VG details. My local pawn shop has about 20 Buffalo nickels like this for $2.50 each. |

Looks like a typical weak strike for this date/mint. F-12 or possibly a little better.

I'm afraid I'd have kept my $10.
I'd much rather get 2-4 coins I love every month rather than accumulating many. But what I like isn't what you may find to be enjoyable or interesting.

Partial date due to poor strike IMO. F-15. I don't think the cut would keep it out of a holder.

 Not the subject coin. Grade on this VF-35+, just doesn't come across EF, but I could be wrong. |

Original post pics and the second set of pics of coin are the same coin. I may bump my grade to VF-25.
