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."

Rather nice. Typical softer strike for the date/mm isn't too distracting at all. No hint of cleaning or dipping. Light color isn't spotty enough to draw the eye. Generally nice fields. Very few marks.
It's a 40 technical grade with a high eye appeal factor.

 A very nice specimen. Edit: It might have been dipped in the past, but I am not 100% sure. In hand, it should be easier to tell.

I would rather see a little less wear on the high spots to call it a 40 . I'm more to the tune of VF-35 .
