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."

To my untrained eye, just a guess.... I'll throw out XF-40.

I'm seeing the obverse at XF-45 and the reverse at VF-35 with a net grade of XF-40

Excellent strike -- that head is uncommonly nice. Surfaces could be questioned, but TPGs are usually easy on dollars. Easily XF 40.

I am at VF35 and I am fine with XF40.

I would also say VF-35, but 40 would not surprise me. I think the reverse holds this one back.

Thanks for all of your comments. This came in and seems just like the pictures seller posted which look better than the ones I was able to take.

Surprised the scratches on the back didn't get more attention, but the rest of the coin is really, really great looking, great surfaces and original circulated toning.

Old cleaning, obverse hairlines more noticeable in your images. I'd call the old cleaning market acceptable. I think a TPG would details it for the reverse scratches. VF35 sharpness. Nice example |
