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."

I would say a lower end to average AU-50. Nothing that really stands out besides the original dark toning. Common date and mint. A little much money for this coin IMO.

Very nice looking AU Trade dollar. The majority of these are cleaned and torn up. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

AU-50, but agree the surfaces look a bit lifeless. Could be the lighting. Sellers pics or your pics NS?
Fair price, overall decent coin.

Virtually all Trade dollars have been cleaned, and this is no exception. But TPGs are more likely to give an old cleaning a pass. Still a nice coin. Better than XF-45 obverse, not quite AU-53 reverse. If it doesn't detail, I see AU 50. |
