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."

XF45 Details, ED. That toning looks awfully dark and terminal. Priced high IMO.

I'm also at EF-40 Details, ED. To me the toning is not entirely unattractive, but still not a coin I would purchase.  with Ty2020b that $54 is overpriced. As I mentioned with the other 1898 dime, this is a common date that one can easily find problem-free. |

Not sure why I would clean up all the wonderful natural toning.
