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 see this one at VF-35. Might detail for the ED.

A bit of an uneven strike. There is more detail in the hair than I would expect, but a bit less detail in the cap. The obverse looks VF-35. The reverse, though, has too much detail for a 35. My hunch is a bourse floor EF-40, with a strike that is a tad soft.

the remaining detail to me looks better than VF. when looking at the obv it appears that the right side of the coin is struck up better than the left. the stars and denticles are much more defined. LIBERTY and the Cap have more details than a VF coin. the reverse details look AU with the sharpness of the neck feathers, shield and feathers on the talons. I think the coin can make XF45. does it grade straight? I think it might

Nice coin, I'll say XF-40 to 45 on this one.

XF45 straight grade no ED -- crusty original

Looks like a nice EF-45 to me.
