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."

That's a real beauty. I can't tell too well how the luster is on this one..I could see this one at AU-58 with a good shot at low MS. I like how good the obverse looks. These colonial type coins often come out with really corroded surfaces or pretty bad planchets. Whatever the grade, you've got a really great looking coin with a strong obverse, an overall nice reverse and a solid strike. Loving it!  -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Another of my dream coins. I'll bet it is quite a thrill to hold that in your hands.
Thank you for sharing these great items with us.

Pretty! I sold one of these years ago and still miss it. There's some corrosion that's been stabilized, but I have no idea what a TPG would make of it. The detail is somewhere around XF, and it is a very decent strike. |

It is wonderful! I just got an EF(40) one--I would love to get a high AU or low MS one, but my biggest criteria is being able to clearly read "Mind Your Business."
