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."

Another nice coin. Old cleaning, market acceptable. Obverse AU-53, reverse AU-55 and on the high end for that grade. Net grade probably AU-53, but it looks better than the grade.

 Thinking the cleaning may be more than enough to detail it though, it's right on the edge. I'd leave it out on some velvet flipping weekly for a couple of months, might just tone up and look even better. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

i like this one. AU55 but the price may be a little high. all depends on what the surfaces look like in proper light. can the coin make 58 and would it grade straight? those are the two open questions

No less than 55 detail, likely 58.
Surfaces? Eh... guessing the lighting was done like that for a reason.

Surfaces look dead, no signs of original luster, but doesn't look to be harshly cleaned at least. Not sure how lenient they are on these old busts.
