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."

Another terrible set of photos to grade from. Maybe MS-64 or 65, or 63. We'll have to wait until you have it in hand and post new photos.

 Appears to be a pretty clean cheek, which is nice. In-hand photos will be needed for this one |

out of focus photos and shadowing. cannot assess surfaces but I agree about price. it looks MS but also looks like the luster is broken in areas. nice peripheral toning

Much better 2nd set of photos. It's a beauty. MS64 range is a guess.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I think the large field mark behind the cap will hold it to a high end MS-64.

Hits behind cap, across the breast and in the left reverse field across from the wreath hold it to 63 for me
Always nice when they come with provenance

Based on second set of photos solid MS-64 with a shot at 65.
