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."

Nice coin, nice subtle woody. Not always easy to photograph such a coin--images posted make it a little difficult to see surfaces (the woody look is somewhat inhibiting). With all that, I'd put it in the MS64-65 range.

Congrats! That is a beauty and one of the two I am lacking. I will probably never be able to add the last two (unless I sneak them into the Dansco without my sweet wife finding out...)

Raw or graded? What's going on through WE TRUST? Light lamination peel, Greaser, or damage? Assuming it's not problematic, I'm also at a probable MS65 RB, but grading woodies from a pic is a crapshoot for me. |

Considering the damage to the UST , IMO in the MS-64

I'm at 64 or 5 rb...depending on if it is in a newer slab anyways. What's going on with the top of the Trust?
