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."

AU-53, or more accurately AU-50-58. I can't tell if the reverse "rub" on the rays is circulation wear or a light strike.

This one had terrible pictures but I was able to buy it for $155.49 including shipping which is xf40 money. The coin is difficult to photograph, and the slab has lots of scratches. But the coin has a lot of luster with typical striking weakness in the reverse as the mint was experimenting and failing with the new, much harder 25% nickel alloy composition at the conclusion of the Civil War. Looks like the horizontal lines in the shield are all there. Thanks for your input!
