Was going to bid on this one and some others but had a prior commitment during the sale. Went for a very reasonable price. I should have tried harder to pick this one up. Post your thoughts on the grade before you go off to look up the grade. Thanks!

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."

SP64BN but I suspect an old cleaning, which doesn't really affect it in any meaningful way.

It's interesting that PCGS gave it a PR (Proof) designation instead of a SP (Specimen) designation, but I don't know much about patterns (most of them are way more expensive than I will be able to afford anytime soon.) The 65BN grade is fully justifiable.
