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."

Kind of leaning heavily toward this one. The obverse is just stunning.

1882, can you make a lower offer for this one? I like this one much better than the 1880. John1  |

I can and I will try, but if they have eyes, I'm sure that they know what they have on offer.  Pricetag is above PCGS Guide and it's still pulling on my wallet. It's that nice.

They are both stunning coins and either would be a highlight of many collections.
Let us know which you decide upon.

wowzers! I'm all about the '82s, but that 1880 is a winner too. Not a bad position to be if those are your choices in life.

I'll say PR67 CAM for this one too but could certainly be DCAM and even PR 68. A real stunner.

The obverse of this one is just incredible. I would take it over the 80, but either one would be such a nice coin to have!

 They're both beautiful but if you're choosing between the two, I'd take the 82. |

They are both absolute beauties! I like the condition of the '82 and the color on the '80. Would be a tough choice for me, too.
Might as well get both...!

Both great examples but I'd also go with the 1882. I'd put this one at PR66 CAM

PF68 on the 82. If the 82 is at 67, a super nice coin for grade. The 80 has a roughness look on the cheek, but I like the toning.

I don't think you could go wrong with either of these honestly if the prices are fair.
