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."

Looks good. I don't like going first. Hmmm, MS64.

Surface preservation is fantastic, except for that cheek. I think the cheek holds it back to a MS-64+, possible MS-65.

Substantial hit on the cheek and some chatter. I'd be at MS-63+ with a really good shot at 64.

 that cheek is the only pause for me saying MS64, but it's got a shot. MS63+/MS64 |

I think you got it for a reasonable price. I'll bet the cheek doesn't look as bad as these photos indicate. I'm guessing 64/64+
Pretty!

reverse is quite nice. the coin looks like it had a dip or two but not overdone. again that could be the lighting. the cheek is whats going to drop this one. I dont think it can pull 64 so I'm at MS63+ only because of the reverse.
good price though as it may be worth almost double that

This came in. A few more hits than expected but still a stunner with fantastic luster and color.

Beauty for sure! Based on your new photos, I think I'm going to move in with the 63/63+ crowd.

The original photos really hid those marks on the top of the reverse. From the new photos, I think this one just makes a MS-64
