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."

It appears genuine with light cleaning that left most of the surfaces intact. Looks like it was a well struck piece with honest, even & moderate wear. I'd call it a Fine although some might say VG.

Nice circulation cameo. I don't think it has been cleaned. No adjustment marks, a decent strike.
I think this gets into a VF20 holder no problem.
Makes me miss my 1800 that I had to sell to pay medical bills.

Good looking example, with a nice circulation cameo. The strike is a little bit soft. The obverse looks right on the VG-10/F-12 bubble, but the reverse looks to be a solid F-12. I'd grade it as a price haggler. If I'm buying, it's a bourse floor VG, if I'm selling, it's a bourse floor F, with a deal somewhere in the middle. It's a solid pedigree coming from Jack's shop. His coins are wonderful, but his prices make for some numismatic arm wrestling.  |

Overall good looking example. I'm at a solid F12, won't argue F15. I've seen worse make it into VF holders. Curious what the purchase price by the sellers mother and how long ago?

I'm still at the VG-10/F-12 bubble, maybe leaning a bit more to net F-12. This is a great looking coin!

This looks like a Fine to me  Nice Score! You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
