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."

Grainy surfaces are a concern, though that could be just picture quality.

I think this looks like it's been nic-a-dated/acid treated on the whole coin. I've seen a lot of coins looking like this now. If I am correct on it being acid treated then I wouldn't be able to give it an accurate grade.

EF Details, porous planchet and coin wrapper PMD on the obverse. There are a lot of Buffs from this era with the reddish ED on the surfaces, and this may be one of them. The seller's photos don't allow much better analysis of this coin. |
