.. and in walks Carrie Nation, screaming at the top of her lungs, wielding her axe, chopping the place up and condemning the patrons to hellfire and brimstone. Liberty is offended by this. She attempts to reason with the angry temperance activist. It's a free country, she says, and free citizens have the right to drink themselves into despair, destitution and damnation if they so desire. Nation is unimpressed. She swings her weapon at the face of of our hero. Liberty ably avoids the blow, but the tip of the axe nicks her cheek, and she still bears the scar today ...   Edited by pristine2

64. Nice looking coin but a few hits keep her out of gem. Also looks semi prooflike.
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."

I've seen them detail these with the reed hits. in this case I don't think so. i'll go with MS65PL also at worst MS64PL. I'm thinking it could pull a CAM designation we well. nice

Funny intro, MS-64+ PL or DCAM (can't tell via photo). 65 would not surprise me. Nick on the jaw, above ear, and nose are difficult to read. I will up it to MS-65 PL.

Don't know what is to the left of Liberty's ear, and on the Eagles breast. MS64 PL. Could make DMPL.

The scar is in an unfortunate spot. I'd say at least MS-64PL, but 65PL wouldn't be surprising.
