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 can see this at 65, but I would not want to pay 65 money for it.

 64/65, fields look nice but my eyes are drawn to the marks on the cheek. $418 sounds like ballpark, is it raw, not certified, in a GSA? CC's are going crazy IMO, if I'm going to pay that kind of money, it's going to be a peach.  |

Initial thought was MS-65. I think it may be in a 2x2 because there is light reflecting on the obverse around 12:00. Or maybe that's a scratch  Suffering from bust half fever.

MS64 to MS65 I think this should be in a slab to maximize profit potential. If I'm buying it's MS64 If I'm selling it's a MS65 LOL

all the CC's with few exceptions had very nice strikes. the luster on this one is seems intact. some spots of rub on the highest areas of the devices. eye appeal is above average with the exception of the breast. the luster may help push this one into the MS65 box

Hard to make a grading call. The cheek area is too blurry. My guess would be MS64 or 65.
