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."

AU details cleaned. Not a fan of the hairlines on this coin.

Some cabinet rub on the obverse, reverse scratches look like die polishing lines. Looks like it took a dip as well. AU58-MS62, price seems right.

Dipped plus rubbing.
Still an OK coin for the price.
Watch your top knot

Or can luster when photographed look like cleaning? Still overall a nice looking coin  |

i'd like to see a different shot of the obv with less light. the obv scratch is long enough and in the key area of the coin that it could details it.
tough call but I can see where some think the coin was cleaned based on the neck area. I'm not sure why someone would try to clean a coin that appears to be UNC with no sign of anything that would warrant doing that. maybe a slight angle shot would help
without another shot of the obv I'm at UNC details

That obverse scratch is big but I don't think it will detail the coin . The neck abrasion is nasty but I'm going against the coin being cleaned . On the reverse the top rim is also abrasive . So now that I'm stumped I'll go with Ty2020b's assessment of AU-58 to MS-62 .

I see enough rub to keep it in the AU range. AU-58.

The quarter I just put some money down on is AU58 and this looks much better so I would say its MS63. It looks like it has some hairline scratches around the arrows and some of the stars on reverse but you never know from a pic but it sure is a nice coin.
