numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 9:51 pm $68. This one looks dirty but seems to have a lot of detail. Obverse looks well-struck while the reverse looks like it was weakly struck in the lower right quadrant. I seem to have accumulated a lot of these. Thoughts? Thanks! 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."

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 09/05/2022 08:46 am definitely weak strike on reverse quadrant. these coins need to be graded using the high points of the devices due to strike issues and those areas are saying AU to me. the sharpness of those high points like the vertical lines on the shield and center of the stars are saying high AU but with lack of luster and little lower on the eye appeal scale i'll go with AU50 Report this Post to the Staff
