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."

MS Details Cleaned. There is a lack of consistent luster on obverse and reverse. The cheek, neck, and the fields above the ONE contain hairlines.
Just out of curiosity, are you buying this coin for a type set, date set, or just for fun?

I'll say AU-55, perhaps 58, too expensive for me. Lifeless.

I question the surface originality on this one, but could just be the pics. Some cabinet rub noticeable in the obverse. AU58-MS63, If in hand pics reveal better surfaces.

AU58 or MS63 however I have to agree that at that level the coin should not look this dull especially the reverse. could be the photos though. I'm not seeing any signs of circulation so MS63 imo details (cleaned)

It's priced slightly below Numismedia AU58. I can't tell much from the pictures. Light scratches above ONE might indicate circulation. It's Obverse 2 Reverse 3 - if you want a fun project, try collecting all the transition varieties 1899-1905.

IMHO, the lifelessness is the photo, not the coin. When I adjusted the photo, I saw good luster and fairly normal surfaces. It's AU-58, with very little circulation. LDS, with 3 obverse and 5 reverse die cracks. Pretty decent strike for the die state. The price looks spot on. Why not? What's to lose?

I think it has luster and some cabinet rub and would straight grade but I don't know how to grade these so I'll leave that to you all .
