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."

For it's age, I would guess an AU-58+, maybe even higher but, I'm not great at grading those. Whatever the grade, it's a beautiful coin to me!

Conservative AU50 for me, guessing they called it AU53.

These are tricky for me, I see only very minimal wear like it was plucked from circulation very quickly and held back in storage for many years. I think this coin is a bona-fide AU-58 just missing MS-60.

I'm with Ty2020b. AU50 may have pushed 53 in the slab

I'll say MS63, possibly overdipped. I think I'm getting fooled by the obverse colors. I don't see any wear on the eagle. Plus guesses are free.

This one was an AU-50. Many of you hit this one. It is the only Trade dollar I have ever owned. The image does not really show it but the fields are somewhat reflective. I was hoping for a 55, but accept 50. |
