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-58, but MS-62 would not surprise me either, and again, I think 176.00 was a great price here..., again  |

A little tough from these pics, but IMHO it's right around AU-55. Plenty of lustre and nice surface conditions. Good looking coin!

 AU53/55, but not so sure about the color. Curious what in hand pics will bring. Also curious about how prominent this scratches in front of the nose are. |

are those black spots pitting/corrosion? If it is then definitely a "details" coin. Still a nice coin.
