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."

Seems to be a lighter strike than the #2 coin, (leg of rider), but toning better. Three small digs in field below horse, and another on horse's rump,
AU-55.

DuVall 2C die pair, the second most common variety, estimated at 39% of the surviving population. Strike is a bit light, signs of light circulation, some bag marks on both sides. I agree, AU-55 here, too. It's another decent example and a good second addition to the possible four-piece variety set. (The full six-piece variety set is impossible.)

NGC's thoughts on the grade.
