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 thought for sure that one wouldnt reach $200 and that was my max bid... To me (not super good at grading IHC's) it looks like MS62-63? I feel like some bidders got into a bidding war and I definitely don't think its worth that... go figure |

Looks MS63 to me. Well struck, good luster, above average eye appeal.

AU details. Questionable color/surface originality.
The headband in particular is odd, where the forelock is in front of the ear, and the texture of the surfaces around there and around LIBERTY.
I do not think it is a soft strike since the nose bridge is intact and fully visible, although the necklace and lowest diamond are a bit soft. The reverse looks comparatively better.

Color looks suspect. MS62, possibly details.

imo there is way too much luster on both sides for this coin to have been cleaned. I think the blotchy surfaces may have come from improper storage over the years and there is zero signs of any circulation but there is a little weakness in strike on both sides that could be construed as circulation.
