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."

The obverse scratch ruins it. Keep your powder dry.

 pretty nice except for that scratch. Notice the beard die clash under the chin? |

Which scratch are you referring to? If you mean the one at 9 o'clock on the obverse, I think it's a scratch on the holder.

Damaged coin. BUT...how deep is the discount? If SUPER discount, I would purchase and use for trading. Will this Buff fit, within reason, the grades of the rest of your Buffalo nickel set? |

This coin was graded MS64 by PCGS and sold for $1,412 which is about wholesale for this coin. I would have bought it for less than 1.5k. Not sure where the damage is.

not a fan of the strike on this one. the scratch is not huge distraction for me but for pricing it would have to be discounted a good amount. I think it sold for a little more than id be interested in
