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."

I believe the large cent to be original. I agree with the quarter most likely being cleaned long ago and retoning nicely....the question is will it be market acceptable

Quarter - XF-40, old cleaning. May be market acceptable. Pics make it hard to tell.
Large Cent - VF-35. Original surfaces.

One way to find out...BTW, your quarter is a 1834 25C RPL FS-901 B-1 variety. The pick-up points are the missing period after 25C and the O/F in OF.
