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."

that mark between the U & N on the obverse is distracting, otherwise a nice coin. I'm at ms63 though a 64 wouldnt surprise
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

Wish all my 63s and 64s had a cheek like this one.

I think there's far more marks than these washed out photos show. MS-63.

Ericgreen, how did you come to your judgment of 65?
I'm at MS62+. The reverse has a teeth mark and lots of other small marks around it. The rim has small amounts of damage going all around it which really can pull a coin down. The obverse has some deep marks and a good rim hit in between E and P. Also a deep mark under UNUM. The cheek looks like it may have very light wear but I can't tell from those photos. I think it's about right for the money paid.

Trace wear. I'm at AU-58 on this one but it's a slider so 58 or 62. Too much luster loss to go higher but might be the pictures?
