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 seems that checking your listing after posting on ebay is a good idea. If the seller can't get the picture right, I would have doubts about the coin itself.

Looking at his sold history I remember the picture of his dog.

We know he's a sitter but is he also a walker?

Wondering if you caught the following from the sellers (now ended) listing:
P.S. PIC OF ACTUAL COIN TO BE SOLD IS NOT NECESSARY, IT IS A BLAZING WHITE, LUSTROUS
EXAMPLE!!
Really ... who purchases a coin via an internet venue with a photo of the elderly gentleman and the seller description above?
Good grief indeed.

I think I would submit a bid just so I could get the coin and then be able to tell this story...
