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'd say AU-55, old cleaning and nicely retoned.

AU55/58 If the coin straight graded at AU58, the buyer made a nice purchase.

AU53. I love the toning but I'm slightly concerned about the cheek, the neck, and the top of the neck. Sometimes pretty toning hides some decidedly unpretty marks.

 spot on with my thinking. AU53 but wondering how deep that neck scratch is. |

Lots of luster, especially on the reverse. Not sure about a possible old cleaning but the color seems attractive. Slight wear visible on high points. AU-55.
