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."

Looks like it is in an NGC holder so some of the marks might be on the plastic. It's a beauty, I'm at MS-65 on it.

 to our small coin grading community. I look forward to reading about what you learn at Long Beach. Thanks for your contribution!

just a tad light on obv strike. reverse strike is great. this one is a winner. MS65 unless they dont like the patchy toning but that reverse is stunning.
congratulations on this acquisition

Lovely example
The weakness in the shield lines is normal, even my 1870 proof (PCGS Proof 64) has weakly struck shield lines despite a full strike elsewhere

Very nice example, particularly the reverse! MS65 looks about right to me, as well.

WOW! That is a fantastic strike. The rays are absolutely sharp on this coin, and almost all of the stars have full centrils. I don't see any evidence of circulation. The only evident contact mark is the small ding below the "W" in WE. If this isn't at MS-65, it better be sporting a bean. Great coin!
(My old type set example was a generic UNC, but it looked more like baseball bats surrounded by fuzzy Christmas cookies than rays and stars.)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This was graded ms64 by ngc and sports a cac green bean.

I'm thinking they tagged it a point due the obverse toning patchiness. there are a few fine hairlines on both sides but not enough imo to trim it a point. I can buy MS64 as long as it got that bean. either way its a pretty coin and excellent example with a strike thats better than most.
