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."

For a moment there, I literally thought you bought this major mint error, but wait, there's more,  Zero percent probability being genuine, definitely looks too good to be true, and why on earth would our friendly counterfeiter put the VDB on the bottom of the reverse?  with the frog  This is the level of insanity one would find on Etsy for 50,000 bucks listed as a one pf a kind error found in Grandpa's old pennies. |

AND possibly an off metal strike to boot. . . I'm not even convinced it's copper!

A bi-metal example would seal the deal.

So I take it you all are skeptical as to the legitimacy of this coin?  |
