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."

Solid slider, pretty decent for 1903.

this 03 is a little weak for the year but not bad and I dont think strike is going to be a factor here. again the lighting is causing shadowing so it does affect what we can see but I can construe the bottom halves are going to look similar to the upper. cheek and neck look pretty clean. but the shadowing is masking if the luster has been compromised. the fields look pretty good as well. I think the only way to tell is to rotate the coin. the only challenge with the photos is eye appeal. I'm not certain the coin looks like this in-hand.
i dont know how everyone can see through this toning to see circulation wear. the only possible indicators I can see is the left wing tip and the leaf above Y in LIBERTY.
AU58 or MS63+ and I'm leaning toward AU on this one but MS would not surprise one bit
