xf45-au50. nicely struck but significant wear in the hair locks below the crown.
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."

 These are notoriously difficult to grade because of striking issues. |

AU-50, strong clash obverse which is not a bonus but a common distractions. Some type of rim something at 9:00 on obverse. Very decent reverse. Common date. Up to 63 these remain very reasonably priced.

I'd say AU-50 or -53. Typical weakish strike. Obvious die clash on the obverse. Shot at a Cud at 9 o'clock. Reverse seems normal. |
