wow, what a stunner. ms64 due to some hits in the face, but worth 3-5x wholesale due to the stunning fields and toning. I don't think it's proof but I could be wrong.
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."

Another example of a coin that is best appreciated in hand. Use the same keen eye you applied to the 1888 quarter.

I am guessing that you are hinting that this one is also proof. I can get with that. Pr63-64? The toning premium is lower for proof coins, but still substantial. Very attractive.
